 Musings by The Poet Loriet

Closure



























~~designed by Aina~~










"...and the magical sittar player fell from the roof as he said~the greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return."
~Moulin Rouge~


You don't know how
you reassured me
when you told me
you'd been divorced
for five years now
and never looked back,
knew the mistakes
you had made and
wouldn't repeat them.

Me too, I told you,
me too...and
I'm so ready
to feel what
being in love
is like again.

Can we try
to love each other
like people do?
Or do you have
a hidden agenda?
I don't want
to learn
any new games.

I just want
to try and
discover
what love is.
It's the reason
for dating~
isn't it?
Or have I mis-read
the rule book again?

I'm closing the book
and opening my heart
one more time to
offer it to the
highest bidder
with the
gentlest touch,
the sweetest smile.
Will it be you?
Are you willing
to try?

If you are,
open me up
and read me
cover to cover.
If not, please
leave me closed.

I'm not a novella
to be read cynically.
I'm more the type
you would linger with
over a cup of
gourmet coffee
on a Sunday
afternoon.

There are no
Cliff Notes.
