I Came To Play
Frank Moore

I came to play!
Came to the table
to play
I don't care what I have
to do
to get a seat
at the table

I play every hand
dealt to me
not really caring about
winning or losing
or about skill
Just playing hands
to stay in the game

Yes, I am a dangerous player,
keep on playing

I came to play!

Came to bed
not to fuck you
but
to melt with you enjoying
mutual surrender
washing pleasure
swept away into oneness
exploring skin from the inside,
beyond time,
beyond self,
into the fun of being
into exploring
the furry cozy sweating love
that can't be confined to the bed,
but claims he whole life
as its playpen

I came to play
to mix things up
to see what unexpected
will appear,
to jam
with playmates,
to lose ourselves
within one another,
within the playing,
the dancing,
the touching,
the music
into listening
and melting

I came to play
playing life the best way I can
always playing against the house,
against the odds
not a smart player
never in competition
just keep my eye
on the ball,
on each hand,
on following
the every move
of Lady Luck

I came to play
often in the lonely fields
beyond taboo,
breaking through THE WALL
to new possibilities
but I am a team player
always looking for playmates
to get muddy or sweaty with
because
truth be told
playing with myself
for myself
has never been fun,
only lonely

I came to play
with colors, noises, realities, bodies, words, characters, limits,
dreams, images,
life, death, symbols, magic
and with you

I came to play
And I'm a dangerous player
because I don't play
for money,
fame,
power,
or from anger,
bitterness,
hatred,
emptiness,
or to win
so I can't lose
can't be beaten!

I came to play
to play
just for fun
just to change everything!
I came to play
after all
I want to play with you
we are mammals,
after all!

In Freedom,
