I

.

It wasn’t so complicated:

.

He didn’t have to pry the bars to his heart open,

Unravel his emotions

As though their layers had formed the petals

To a wrought and cast-iron flower - 

.

There were no locks, no puzzles,

No eclectic, Sphinxian riddles.

.

.

II

.

All he had to do was ask, be honest,

Be himself,

Be kind, assertive,

Be direct as to what he wanted:

.

And just like that - 

Easy enough -

.

He got it.

.
