For A Legal Nymph....

when the academics failed her
she deciphers the labyrinths and
finds the exit door of this complicated
tunnel.

Not regretting love
she quits the books
she embraces love and
readies herself for
another chapter of
pains.

The truth is there is less
drama in happiness ever after.
Something that you cannot forget
is when the lover dies
and loved one survives and
at the end
loses herself to the island that
no one finds.

The ending is hazy.
The book closes on a misty day.
The writer says
I do not know. They are not real.
