No Reservations

A dinner prepared.

Honesty, Truth on the side

Freedom for dessert.

—-

Once you’d tasted Love,

You would never settle for

Your current menu.

—-

If you’d be honest,

You’d be at a kinder table,

Dinner beyond words.

—-

What if you’d let go?

You could be saying “oh wow,

Thank you for this feast ! ”

—-

She, watching from far,

Would be at the table too

Where three plates were set.

—-

Hopes dashed, “enough” in doubt ,

Self- disappointment circles

Faithfully loyal one.
