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)
