Poem

You know me as a poet, and writer of poems sad,
I take poetic license, violating rules and conventions;
telling a story using figurative language, I share,
     my life's journey and sorrows in beautiful words.
     Few beyond this safe harbor have read my poetry,
     I write with raw emotion and I lay my soul bare;
     my poems are my treasures and I keep them hidden,
                              oh, fathomless is the pain.

        My view on life is somewhat sad fatalism,
          my destiny foretold, it is already written;
there are many facets to me that I share with few,
oh, classical music moves me to write my poetry and words;
I love Chopin, poet of the piano, Mozart, oh that lyrical charmer.
And I am a lover of art, going to the art gallery weekly,
I love Van Gogh, Degas, Pissario, Bernini and Botticello;
Leonardo and of course, Michelangio, I could go on and on.

     I am also fascinated in the architecture in my city.
     Often, I just walk the streets looking for beauty,
     admiring Gothic revival with its arches and vaults;
     and I love the Victorian building where I reside,
                              with my cat.
        I have a small garden, created with a love for nature,
        a tribute to my mother's great fondness of flowers.

the things you may not imagine about me are many, for example
I adore vintage jewelry and clothes, and antique anything;
and I am a collector of books, reference, dictionaries, all in a clutter.     
And one last thing that I find so very odd and strange,
is that although since childhood I have walked with death;
and death haunts me-  I am quite happy, although quite internal,
          and I do love and absolutely need my silence.
