in small doses.

This one is rather close and dear to my heart. Short, but it lingers on.

if you stare at something long enough,

the significance slowly fades until

all meaning has perished.

he studied me for hours that evening,

gathered his bags,

and caught the 5 AM train.

Sounds like a Halle Berry relationship...but I'm not convinced she will find the right one...after all these years...the verse presents something in the lines that anyone in a relationship can muster...or this was a one night stand gone wrong...when the music's over...

You're welcome...

If you over analyse any relationship it will fail. We all have faults and rather than look for the bad, look for what you love about the person. Your piece follows the idea of less is more and you did a very nice job. Thank you.

I swear I feel the same sometimes unless it's like .. genuine. You meet someone with high expectations or you do something out of danger and once the sense of secrecy or adventure is gone, so is your interest. I could go deeper but I'm sure people have felt this on their own and know where I'm going.

I had to smile at this for several reasons. First "love at first sight" is just a catch phrase
for those already in love, not for those trying to be. Second, "if you don't like what I look like,
your staring at me too long."

I heard someone use that line once, I swear........love this...dana

Thank you so much for this lovely review. Yes! That was truly my state of mind while writing it. :) I am already a huge fan of your work, and will definitely be showing your poems much, much love.

Interesting write, can sum up a relationship over time, has a pulp fiction detective novel vibe but absolute truth and reality.
