Your old picture morphed into multichrome
And then your voice became a Siren's sound -
A diva singing love's perfect poem,
Backed by summer rain's patter on parched ground.
You
were a text on sensuality
Written
on my blinded youthful vision;
Bonny
and blithe, tempting me to be me,
But
I walked away to life in prison.
Now I'm here skewered, wriggling on a pin,
Accused, yet not remotely criminal,
Kafkaesque, lost, and wondering where you've been,
Wishing reality subliminal.
In
dreams your face lights up and says 'hello' -
Old
knowledge that I wish I did not know.
