But the boy told the girl,
“I will always protect you.”
And, for the first time,
She believed him.

The boy told the girl,
“You are special.”
And, for the first time,
She believed him.

The boy told the girl,
“Your soul is made of pure gold.”
And, for the first time,
She believed him.

The boy told the girl,
“I love you.”
And, for the first time,
She believed him.

The shortest path between
Two hearts yearning for love
is Poetry.

Not high philosophising
that inkling
might just be the right thing!

It would be best
I don't re-read
life's past pages
but on new ones to feed

That's not difficult,
That's impossible,
Which is much easier.
