The Chronicles of Simon the Lover
Chapter Six: Curiosity
All wondered amongst themselves
Who was the author of this outpouring?
These were not the words of a simple man
Or of a plain, small town fellow they said
The author of this poem was surely
One to be esteemed for his love and words
What of Muriel?
Let’s just say her smile was a bit
Wider than usual that day
As her heart beat harder
Than it ever had
Energized by such curiosity alive within her
And Simon?
He saw her smiling
And it was the best day of his life
Though many men have provoked
One thousand smiles from the one they love
For Simon
This was the first
Once again they had lunch together
From across the room
Muriel smiling and chatting
With her girlfriends from the bank
And Simon spoke silently with his pen
But with a greater sense of
Freedom than before
Off went another letter
To the Town Chronicle
This time it was in the next day’s paper
And the expectation of the town
(And of Muriel)
Was not disappointed
