Hurt Love

(POETIC DIALOGUE BETWEEN JCV AND RICHY)

PRESTIGIOUS JCV
I told the moon my story last night... I never knew love could hurt like a heart attack.

RICHY ROYAL
If ever you could kiss the moon and romance the stars, then would love ever cease to hurt"

JCV
I never knew love could hurt this bad, worst pain I ever had, The moon I confided in but he disappointed me at the beginning of the tale....

RICHY
Hmmm! Try the star!
The star is more reliable and can keep secret than the open minded moon.

JCV
Maybe sir,
I will Wait till its dark and scary; when the stars shall begin their journey to my hut then shall I tell them my story of lost love....

RICHY
The stars shall not only keep secret your love tale but also shall gladden your heart with sweet hope of a better love you'll find from Venus.

JCV
Yet have to hold my lips a little tight and watch them closely when they arrive before I talk.
Because many have soiled my heart.
So sad a story that dwells in my heart but none of the natural components can be entrusted with it.
The air has built his hut far from me, the moon, my enemy, the sun; a scaring dove and hoping on the stars of love.

RICHY
Hush! Never give yet an outpour of a frustrated Knight of love. Get thy shoes fixed and thy garment and helment tightened till it's dusk.

JCV
I look forward to the promise of your words to baptize my longing soul of love and affection.
The waving of the trees behind the window of my heart is encouraging, the chirping insects are home dancing and I hope am beginning to enjoy the company of those forgotten beings.

RICHY
I think the mystery of the firmaments have I deciphered; the air is but a hypocrite, the sun offers no eternal succor, the moon though generous lacks no virtue for love. The Stars I know no matter her infinitesimal nature provides liniment to those broken hearts of love... Seek ye her face tonight and solace shall you find. Take my words to the Stars!

JCV
seeking the face of the stars shall I do with hope of a new beginning.

RICHY
This gratitude shall my heart romance whence thou hath succor found alas.
