Since you had failed to be a worthy listener

I opened the cages of my heart and mind

and I set you free,

but you freely came back to me

a willing practitioner …

So I reinstalled you as my prisoner –

but into a different cage.

I will sentence you to eternal life

SAVED

upon a page

in a book …

My first impression returns

for a second look.

Out of my heart, out of my mind,

now in-between the lines

of my rhythm and rhymes:

You will survive through the ages,

unstopped by time,

from one trap to the next …

IMMORTALIZED!

 

 

NOTE: And that’s how you keep the loves of your life from ever leaving you …

You write about them and put them in books … Thus making them, IMMORTAL!
