Goodby for now
Two-roomed apartment
Recluse of a poet and womb
For an artist at heart
Pleasant and inspirational
Filled with the silent aura
Of a supportive Muse
Tender to the sensible heart
And healing touches for the
Wounds of verbal abuse
By the hurt of a spouse
Who had been mistreated
In parts of her topsy-turvy
Life
A supportive hanger-on
To her spouse at times
Who’d be fighting all his life
For being an acknowledged
Artist.
But only another artist could
Understand this artist’s issues
And his striving for
Self-realization.
