Notes About The Poem

Desserts

remember …

you pledge your trust as trust’s returned
keep flames, both ends, to not get burned
mind those you meet midst love’s connect:
the LEAST you’re due, is their respect …

love’s prayers and deeds aren’t à la carte
your flesh and soul - bound to your heart
so hang your hopes with HONEST cares -
don’t waste a SINGLE tear …

on players.
