Your Masterpiece


Aglow with Mona's
known mystique

that elegance of
Madame X

those scintillations
in a Klimt

Pearl Earring 's eyes
to empathize

like Venus coiffed
to mesmerize

direct as Frida's
portraiture

but look: no Warhols
replicate

no Lichtensteins
can illustrate

and no Picassos
separate

no pointillists
will punctuate

elusive truths
of your pure art

much less the splendor
of your heart.
