Richard D Seal Poet Quatrain

A Mind Made Up

A Mind Made Up

What are you looking  for
Knocking on my door
Your heart to be returned
Now that I am spurned

With pleasure it is yours
Slammed shut are the doors
Take it in your hand
And try to understand

It’s no good coming back
When it’s love for me you lack
All my trust in you is gone
Since you found another one

No matter what you say
There will never be a way
You can talk until your blue
My love has gone for you

So take your heart and go away
And forever from me stay
No more knocking on my door
I’m not what you’re looking for.

R.D.Seal.     25 Jan 2013

Verlecia Fields April 24, 2017 at 1:32 PM the poem hit me right in the heart - as if it was being said to me - painful

Eileen Manassian September 7, 2013 at 2:30 PM Had to come back and read this one thanks to Licia's write!!!!

Andrea Dietrich August 2, 2013 at 12:45 AM ON tihs exact same poem exactly a month ago, I wrote that I could not find a new poem to comment to. How funny I ended up at the same place saying it again as i did on July 1! I sure enjoyed the comment you left me on that July 1 comment! Thanks for all your attention to my poetry and to others'! Richard D Seal August 2, 2013 at 5:30 AM You're certainly a creature of habit Petal lol see you around the 1/2 of September lol, I've become a comment junkie haha,

Delysia Hendricks July 21, 2013 at 10:43 AM Can you unmake your mind up? I still care deeply about you. lol. Nice write, Richard. You're de man. Licia :-) Richard D Seal August 2, 2013 at 5:24 AM Lol, You know me hinges are rusted solid Licia, :)though you can be sure I too care deeply, and if you ever need me, go to the window for any discourse required hahaha

Andrea Dietrich July 1, 2013 at 8:54 PM hmmm, I wonder if I can find any new poem of yours. Have I seen them all? I remember this one too. You have so many good ideas, I sure hope to see many new posts from you. Richard D Seal July 3, 2013 at 2:02 PM Hiya Petal, The problem is I spend so much time commenting on the prolific writers, erm like you lol

Timothy Hicks April 26, 2013 at 3:04 PM The finality of this is strong. I guess it's all in the situation you're in, but sometimes forgiveness can't be so easily received. Sometimes you just have to move on. Really well written piece, Richard. And I hope she'll be able to move on as well!

Eileen Manassian April 24, 2013 at 11:16 PM Wow...good for you. But then again...sometimes you need to forgive and remember that anyone can fall. No one is infallable, Richard. Hugs.

Andrea Dietrich March 25, 2013 at 3:22 PM I enjoyed reading this one. It reminded me of the subject of some old rock songs I used to listen to such as that one that goes: I hear you knocking but you can't come in!!

Poet Destroyer A March 21, 2013 at 6:46 PM wow Richard, I guess you have made up your mind... it's hard to hear someone go on and on, when all trust is broken. I have a bad boyfriend, who knocks on my door...i wish I had the nerve to turn away and not listen... always~ Linda
