sequels supposed

sequels supposed

fictional characters

my lovers

figments of imagination

felt so real,

touched skin, i am sure

or maybe touched mind

devised

your eyes

the deep brown orbs

floating into my heart

is there a true/false

logic to love

or is empathy a chapter

unwritten in the real world

are emotional plots

full of embedded roses

or just the thorns that adorn

stemming the tide of feelings

from page to page

until only the epilogue

shows hint of breath

and lasting love is merely

a phrase used on the novel's sleeve

to promote

the next book

always to be

the next book.

Sometimes it feels as if we're always waiting for the next one. Maybe, should linger longer with the first ...

[jacob erin-cilberto]

maybe...thank you, Lyn.

I don't believe there is ever a sequel to love or passion. All of it's real...even when you can't touch it. I'm in love with this poem, there is NO doubt about it!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you for your very kind review, Queenie.

You are being too logical my friend. Lasting love is a writer plot and real life fantasy. I did enjoy the poetry Jacob. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry my friend.

Sequels are never as good as the original.in most cases.all you're doing is trying to do remake what you had the first time

[jacob erin-cilberto]

such wise words, KC...never as good...as you say...
what we remember is not the same as what we encounter second time around, if there is one.
