"Do Not Disturb"

My whole life seems to be one large hotel room with the door closed and locked...And a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door...
...Room service is always ordered. Never brought into the room. Just leave it at the door.....Many phone calls. Sometimes answered. Often times ignored. Phone always rings.

...Visitors...

...Don't come to me; I'll come to you. Got a key to many other hotel rooms...Only a few, maybe two or three actually have a key to mine...

You...Hmmmm??? You went to the front desk and acquired my room key...Totally ignored the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door. Came right in...

I walked out of the bathroom to a pleasant surprise. The image of you standing there. Bags in hand. Room key in your back pocket. Standing there as if I were expecting you. As if invited...

...Others...

...Listening at the door to see if I would throw you out. When you remained. They listened to see if I was enjoying your company. So they talk amongst themselves while they stand at the door. Leave 'em out there. They'll never get in...

...So...

...Drop your bags. Enjoy what happens in this room of mine. Don't think you'll be leaving any time soon...

~~~~DO NOT DISTURB~~~~
~~~~YOU DISTURBED~~~~
~~~~I'M ENJOYING YOUR DISTURBANCE~~~~


.........Peace until our next encounter.........

  2. wow. what a way to describe the entrance of love. there is always an army of lovers seeming to try to divide and conquer your heart. hence, i understand the do not disturb sign. what a creative way to look at the beginning of a relationship. = }

  3. There are many reasons why novelists(writers) write – but they all have one thing in common: a need to create an alternative world.
