Tonight's Poet Corner: Sonnet Solstice #522
Just So You Know by Belinda Roddie Just so you know, I don't believe in true love's kiss, or in soulmates, or in any concept of romance in the slightest. You can call me cynical, and I may be, but I've been burned too much to move too close to any flames of "passion." Now, I don't oppose a gift of a chocolates or a rose, but those are merely gestures, and I won't be moved by them. Physical contact, sure, can thrill me, but my mind will not be swayed, no will your words change me, though they be pure from falsehoods or betrayal. Now, have I made myself clear, or will you continue to try to prove I should be in love with you?
