Love Poem: A New Pact

A New Pact

Pray, why should I write
About your word like some gang
Conspiring demise of love?
Totally wrong though -

Implying friendship;
Making believe we hold hands.
Pleasure is not social, dear,
Always it is self
Coming first to its climax,
Treating friends like property.

Can we make a pact
Overtly different now,
Meaning better than gang life?
Privacy hates crowds
Ambitious with their designs,
Craving its serfdom as love,
Tempting only lust.

Pacts are impersonal
A liitle too dry for me
Console not,  I love to risk
Times when I yield love.
