You’re a tease, and I’m willing to beg...
Do not leave in the middle of foreplay!
I will follow you, stretching my neck
through the guillotine of the doorway.

See my gaze, full of woe and regret? --
Do not ask, "What’s the matter?"
To forget how to love you is to forget
how to love altogether!

Andrey---

Ages since I've read from you, what a shame, what a shame.  I shared a chuckle with Carly (Child of the Stars) over MSN that "Master just wrote a poem called Break-Up."  Kind of an unusual subject matter for you, based on what I remember about your writing.

You pull it off, though.  I like your witty tone in this, even though it's obvious you leave it on the note of some kind of lesson learned.  Somehow I still get the idea this poem is meant to be less-than-serious.  

Condolences if this is based on a true story.

Faith is a fine invention
When gentlemen can see
But microscopes are prudent
In an emergency.

Hey hey LP, it's been too long!

It's nice to know you're still around... I pop in once in a while to post some new stuff, but not that often.

No, this one wasn't based on a true story. For some reason or other, most of my recent poetry has been rather sad and depressing... I guess I just got tired of happy poetry. haha.. And yea, I did intend this one to be a little less-than-serious, as you put it. It seems to me, like half of the time, lovers are merely playing games, making empty threats just to stir up some emotion. I wanted to capture that aspect of relationships.

Thanks for reading,

Andrey
