Love Story

love poem
In gilt, I framed
pictures of you

You were the closest

that came

to my notion of companionship.

But, where were you?

In gilt, I framed

pictures of you —

soft, sullen,

seductive, surreal.

As the climate dictated

I would dip into my mind —

focus on the apt frame

and connect.

For years, it has been this!
