“The Portrait”


 


She turned her back


To face reality


In sight


Nothing to behold


Since love had left her bare


Nothing more to share


She just sits there


Nothingness


Within her glance


An expression


Stagnant

SEE! Now this Tinka is yet another concise evocative
poem you've written here, and you know I said I relate to
just about all you write , but then you enhance it with
excellent musical scores!
Keep up the Great work!

Dear Tinks,

Stagnant? the above clearly depicts the opposite... in any event, there is always a lull before a storm, so here's waiting for the downpour my friend, and in your heart you know it will come.

warmest hugs and love to you sweetie.
