The Situation

Two men have my attention Hazel hearts rise like orange sunshine Even my favorite songs mention Situation where true love resides Images of me with the first king The one who’s been waiting 4 years Unfortunately another kente king Appreciates me but is not near Turquoise time will denim design Intimate test of hearts and minds Olympics of lavender lovers Needing one more than the other

Oh well Karen, can't you just have them both? Why do we have to choose? They both would make your heart flutter on different days. Hahaha. The one that stops trying is the one you toss.

Agreed but it’s complicated by distance! I think Silent One was correct in that you weren’t in love with the first if you fell for the next one. Still I like your suggestion because these men show me red flags occasionally lol

The one in California asked me to live with him! Red flag. I don’t shack up

Such a Delima, my friend. Perhaps you may never have to choose which one.

Jerry I think time will tell but as Silent One says the latter is chosen because I wouldn’t have fallen for the new king if I loved truly the first king!

'Turquoise time will denim design // Intimate test of hearts and minds' -- just an exquisite couplet, Karen! And the next one, 'Olympic...other,' also memorable. This is going into my faves. Bravo, Gershon

Oh is that still going on? You know what Johnny Depp, said? He said choose the one you fell in love with as if you loved the other, you would not love this one...

Interesting work. Maybe a poem written for a contest if so, it reads like a good contender to me. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us and for dropping by my page. Sara K

I don’t do contests since I’ve been studying piano Sara. I unfortunately write usually from experience and thanks for reading.
