Like paint on canvas, on the wall
a shadow’s drying,-- long and misshapen
and awry, left by the human soul.
Within it, passion’s resting latent
under the mask of careless shade,
and warmth is hiding in gray covers
of swirling make-up -- masquerade.
Unnoticed, it just sleeps for hours
there by the wall. It’s like a feather,--
even lighter, but none can lift it’s frail body--
Like, on a sheet, -- a printed letter,
A letter written for somebody...
