A fractal picture
Painted blue
Orange hues
And red paint too
Curvature sinfully
Arched
Triumphant
From the very start
Won me over
With a single glimpse
Sleek constructure
Like a lynx
Cat run wild
Free to roam
Treading in
The danger zone

I don’t want to be the one who shies away
and loves you less

I don’t want to be the one asleep
while you’re awake

I don’t want to be the keeper of secrets
you cannot share

I don’t want to be the one you miss
—until I’m gone

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2020)

A poet's written words

Are a feast for the senses

Feeding mind and soul

In a world hungry for beauty
