Delicate and bold,
April's hummingbird arrives,
Visits the flow'rs.
Quixotic, sublime,
Quixotic, sublime,
Masculine, he is much like
Someone I once knew.
"You were fun at first:
Lots of laughs, cute debates, but
Now I'm bored with you."
All those things he said,
sharply focused, pierced my heart,
needlelike, precise.
He loved me the best
that he could, but the truth is:
he never knew me.

Beautiful. +1 for use of quixotic! :)
ReplyDeleteOh! Thank you, Ruth! I'm so glad you like it—and "quixotic" has floated around my mind the past day or so.
DeleteStunning imagery in both word and photograph. I'm with Bullish ... you definitely get extra points for using the word, "quixotic" -- leaves me breathless.
ReplyDeleteWhy, thank you! [batting eyelashes demurely] Inhale!
