The Chronicles Of Simon the Lover
Chapter Eight: Muriel’s Heart
As Muriel read the poem
She wept
And this moment brought a first for her
She believed for the first time
That true love was real
And her heart began to yearn
To know who her lover was
She made her way through the day
With every moment feeling like a lifetime
Each man she passed
Brought the same question
“Is this my love?”
With Simon’s words
The door to Muriel’s heart
Had been unlocked
That day when Simon saw her
He saw a woman in love
But she didn’t know who with
At one moment she giggled to herself
The next she was almost in tears
Simon was now resolved…
He would be revealed
To his love
And it would be for Muriel
To slay or bring him to life
When he left the diner after lunch
He walked straight to the Town Chronicle
And personally delivered the letter
The whole walk home
And the rest of the day
Simon did nothing
But hope against hope
And as he slept
He saw Muriel in his dreams
The following day’s paper
Had his poem on the front page
