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.
