Unexplained emotions, this woman allure leaves me transfixed. I unusually lose sleep at night like a grade-schooler Who’s gotten a first kiss.
We say hello every morning at the Coffee Shack. Her daily Cafe Au Lait. And my Cafe Latte. Give us a brief moment to chat.
I speak about my day to come. Inquires about hers. She’s always in a good mood, eager to talk. Although, I noticed she mentions her husband more times than not.
It was as if I found my one true love. How could I not be hers? A married woman with vows spoken. I’m tampering with a seal that should never be broken.
I was given a pamphlet from a psychiatrist friend, who knew my story well.
Titled, “The Three Loves’ Tortures.” To help me keep focus on what is real.
1. Dreams: Now, this thing will intrigue. Dreams dreamed while not yet asleep. Are often desire formed fantasies.
2. Visible salvation. A rainbow explained. Trance beauty to the eye. But can never be obtained.
3. Like searching for enlightenment in a fog, you will only find vain. To be in love with another man's woman. Is cancerous to the brain.
