Seul

"Ne me quitte pas"

he whispered faint prayers

on her crumpled ear

pleading, 

               "Don't leave me"

begging,

almost to bend knees,

                                  but NO--

he do not fear solitude

but how can one

write without a muse?

Perhaps she finally woke up

realizing,

              "I am more than an image

                he paints with words anymore"

So she leaped from the canvas,

the two-dimensional prison

he called universe

                            and YES--

she fears solitude

but how can one

live with no liberty?

Perhaps she will find out later

realize that,

                  "I am my own image

                  words will never be enough to paint me"

So before her retreat

she exclaimed to her auteur,

"Adieu!"
