Part Pygmallion, part Cyranno
-a dash of Dorian Grey
seeking Dulcinea was I
With a smidgeon of de Sade
sprinkles of Valentino
finding Dulcinea did I
Solomon's wisdom
in a box of chocolates
loving Dulcinea, but why?
A bit of 'old blue eyes'
Astair's astonishing grace
freeing Dulcinea, I sigh
Farewell Dulcinea,
no time for long good-byes

really lovely in it's sad form. I liked the idea of Capistrano in this read. Very touching with the Solomon's wisdom. Well done Joe, one of my favorites by far!

Internet love is easy come easy go. Long good byes just agonize the pain, pour salt into the wound,,,yet the yearning for their return continues if true love is found.

freedom, with me no love is easy come and it's all hard to loose, letting go is not my style. Once someone is in my life, there in my heart to stay

awww! Capistrano is such a romantic Old World City! I really enjoyed this take on romantic leading actors of the past. Solomon's wisdom....loved that! Made me smile. A gentle poke at the sap of the ages! ~ Karen
