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.
