I am a disclaimer

Skip the small print

I’ll give you a neon sign

This heart of mine

Is a meandering mess

Best not to explore

Let me try

To act random

In my weak predictability -

Like the 29th of February

Visiting life

Through my distant words

Once

Every four years….

Count yourself lucky ~

I could have been

Halley’s comet.

This is a quirky & original way to describe how I felt about romance most of my life. Being commitment-phobic myself, I always warned a guy not to get hurt with this one! (me) I love all the imaginative ways you say that . . . more playful than how I was when I was pushing people away! Your easygoing tone makes this a comfortable self-deprecating ditty (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

ahahaha spot on Volcano! every four years makes the meal so much more savory ... i love your little poem .. its smart, humorous and universally relatable ... but especially for writers and those in committed relationships .. very cool way you handle the metaphor .. thanks for sharing this little gem!

That is why I suppose there is so much intensity, sensuality and a longing written all over your poem! Long haul makes art optimum!

Thank you very much.....I wonder whether there is an edge to the universe :)

[Mrudula Rani]

Are we talking about personal particular universe?

[Einstein Noodle]

forgive me for butting in please ..but Volcano Man ..yes there is an edge to the universe ..its made to cross over ;)

[SleeplessVolcano]

Both :) The universe and our own existence is without limit.....I believe :)

[SleeplessVolcano]

Oh Mr Einstein, welcome to the debate sir! So what happens when you step off the edge of a cliff? Do you just cross over? ;)

[Einstein Noodle]

ahahaha depends how high the cliff eh!? and how well one bounces i guess ;)0

[SleeplessVolcano]

Ever heard of a dead cat bounce? (seriously, there is such a thing :) )

[Mrudula Rani]

There goes the schrodinger's theory!

[SleeplessVolcano]

Hey, don't bring quantum mechanics into what should be a simple American capitalism phenomenon...:P

When it comes to cats, all bets are off!

[SleeplessVolcano]

I think we need to compare apples to apples....I'm convinced that cats in your neck of the woods are all fluffy and purry....Where I come from, when they roar, those even with guns, run :)

[Einstein Noodle]

ok...the cats out of the bag ...i'm outa here ;}
