They started to rip apart at the seams
after months of being a woman's plaything.

it seems.

And this city
this beautiful city
appears no less beautiful
but, its heart, the weather, cold as the people

Sure, they're not all like that
but one must question a city
It is true, its a pity

a divorce rate of 70 percent
Some foreigners stay...
and, well...
some went.

Tears welled in his eyes
as he searched for new destinations
it was not a surprise.

Thailand, Ukraine, France
anywhere but here

but his students hold him
a few hold him... dear

In his life, he had always moved on
when discouraged and heartbroken
never making a decision to stay where he lay
to put in the work and persevere

a vision, a woman
put delusions in his eyes
veiled virtue, fighting a dragon in disguise
he couldn't see the windmill, the truth
for 4 months of Dulcinea's lies

now there are three, Czech three of his exes
and some say, his destiny lay
elsewhere
this dear Don Quixote,
de la Texas.

~ This is fantastic work, martiniat8!

Your unique way of presenting your poetry, to me anyway, made this piece sing and soulful and true tune.

Love this . . . "Czech three of his exes"

Well portrayed, with the Don Quixote analogy. It is in hard times that the most character is built. May you find your 4th Czech girlfriend with quiet wisdom.

Wishing you happiness.
