Jackalin and Bo

      Her hair is white as snow and her skin like alabaster.
      She watches the couple invisible and silent as a ghost.
      Bo, Jackaline's longtime lover, lies about his infidelity.
      Jackaline, cursed by Aphrodite to be constantly in love with someone,
      listens to Bo patiently.
      "The way things are in the world today, Christmas is just an empty
      promise." Bo said.. "Everybody wants their toys, but it's never enough."
      "Oh Bo, I know about the other women. Why do you play these games?"
      Jackaline answered wiping her tears back.
      Bo dipped a french fry in some sauce and ate it.
      "Christmas is a promise of not what is, but what could be." Bo continued
      rubbing his hands.
      Jackaline ate some of his fries.
      "I love my dog more. Rosie never lied to me." she answered ..
      "I can change." Bo held Jackaline's hands and looked deeply into her eyes.
      Jackaline pulled back and sipped her ice tea.
      The apparition breathes the fragrance of love above the couple.
      Bo kisses Jackaline and they are lovers again.
      Then, what is love in the mind?
      It is a thirst that must be quenched...
