An excerpt from my book "Mutual discovery, at the end of the tunnel", recently published by www.lulu.com

Beautiful Jasmine

There was beautiful Jasmine

Who, one day, stole my heart.

I gave her love,

I gave her affection.

Heaven was on earth.

Daily, on the land of joy,

I was carried away

By passion and devotion.

And then came her conditions!

In a mellifluous tone,

She confirmed her love for me,

Her desire to be with me;

But she was also craving

For splendor, wealth and power,

She wanted to shine regardless.

Each of her wishes

Slashed my heart

Slowly filled of icy water.

And it froze

And changed to stone,

Forever...Maybe...

...oh no, not forever. But isn't it true that such conditional love can cause us to be cynical, even when looking at the real thing? I like your follow-up of this poem quite a lot. --Charlie
