An excerpt from my book "Mutual discovery, at the end of the tunnel", recently published by www.lulu.com

Beautiful Jasmine

There was beautiful Jasmine

Who,

One day,

Stole my heart.

 

I gave her love,

I gave her affection.

Heaven was on earth.

Daily,

On the land of joy,

I was carried away

By passion

And devotion.

 

Then, came her conditions!

In a mellifluous tone,

She confirmed

Her love for me,

Her desire

To live with me forever;

But she was also craving

For splendor,

Wealth

And power.

She wanted

To shine regardless.

 

Each of her wishes

Slashed my heart that,

Slowly,

Filled of icy water.

And froze

And changed into stone,

Forever...Maybe...

...oh no, not forever. But isn't it true that such conditional love can cause us to be cynical, even when looking at the real thing?

I like your follow-up of this poem quite a lot. --Charlie
