Red: The Love Poems
Poem VIII. Tender and Fragile. Poem Based Off of "Romance d'Amour" by Anon.
A Romance d'amour
that was you and me.
Tender and fragile
as the petals of
flowers that bloomed
at the springtime of
our days together.
Together but distant.
Distant but together—
tender;
tender
as the friendship shared;
the friendship lost;
the whole of secrets that (out)last in
the unknown
of the past.
It's the past...
At the past
to no longer come back;
to no longer bloom
at the springtime of our
disjointed days...
A Romance d'amour
that was you and me.
Tender and fragile;
together but distant...

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.
