Verus Amor

A painting will never love you back,
like a woman or a child

An opera may cause your heart to sing,
then leave you twice beguiled

Platonic zeal may fill the hours,
a pleasant interlude

But requited love will change your life
-and end your solitude

(Haverford Pennsylvania: September, 2020)
