There are so many other books of love waiting for a shared reading together


Preparing For A Closed Heart.

Close that book of 
the shared memories of two
that your heart  mistakenly 
read as more than just 
a temporary binding 
and a painful, ripping separation.
Slam it hard, 
or lay it gently down 
and always leave 
a bookmark to warn you 
of this sudden interruption 
of your life.
Note this final chapter 
left unfinished 
in your love that 
was written together
in the flow of 
passion through
the ink of many nights. 

Seal the door 
to your heart
and place the key
in your saddend soul
knowing that 
there are orhers 
out there just like you
storing the key
to their love
and hoping someone
will ask for it.

Break the chain
that held you 
close to them
that symbolized 
the bond
they once held on you, 
but wear one link
around your middle finger
to remind you of 
how you were screwed 
and how quickly  that 
bond broke in their haste 
to be free of the best 
love they might 
ever have known.
be proud of yourself
for all that your love 
gave to them 
unblemished
Whistle an unchained 
melody as you slip it on 
and hold your head 
high till the next link is joined
and you are bound 
to a far better partner

The verdict is in, 
your heart must be 
closed and made ready
for a long absence from them 
they do not meet 
what you'd hoped for, 
but don't be a 
prisoner to the past, 
judge not, recluse 
and excuse yourself 
and then let them simply
 
hang them self out 
to dry what's cried 
when they realize 
what a truly valuable 
asset they've lost 
by letting you go.

Then escape 
Book a flight somewhere, 
close even your 
dwelling doors
seal them from any 
of their errant love 
coming back 
go  off to write a new 
verdict in some 
tropical sand, 
with two sets 
of ten toes, 
drawing lines of 
siamese smiles
 
shared by two 
in a new love 
on vacation from sorrow
after the vacating 
of the old love 
edited cleanly 
from your life.
