A Time of Broken Desires

Second best becomes
first best as first best
is placed to rest,
but hopes and dreams
and desires are not
so easily laid aside
within a lovers heart.
Still it is a process
that I am going through
and one that every one
must go through when
the one they desire
walks away, leaving
them with nothing but
a time of broken desires
to grace their days.

reading Neeraja's
response to one of
my writes.

Maybe you’ll become a Buddha

Thanks Huan for responding...
I've heard storys of some women following a broken heart wanting to become Nuns...
I appreciate some of the thoughts of the Dali Lama...but as for me following Buddha...a good thought but not...James
