and put it in the alcove with the window
so she could sit and look over the cemetery ...

The Kiss of Klimt
...I hurried through the halls of Belvedere
To reach the floor where I could see “The Kiss”
The place I’d find his artwork was so near
I finally came upon it, joyous bliss!

Adorn
...I planted this garden to enjoy.
Photosynthesis comes from the sun.
The white orchids set to the east.
The daffodils are astray.
The roses are a spread on a rack.
The tulips and morning glory are in a...

They never flinch when the doorbell rings twice,

Into your desert of darkness there is no star
Only a black moon and a deep scar by diamond
Feelings traveling by trails on high cliffs,

And thorns endured where dainty petals aught;
On scented breath exhaled beguiling lies,
