Poem: Invisibility

You never let reality define you

by your dreams;

but through love you create

things of beauty:

you see what you paint,

as if the eyes are that you

long for- -

though none is there to see,

except you, you know,

how to get paint'd be

in darkness, expos'd by light,

for blest imagery,

poetry pours like rain,

and whatever is writ,

is writ in vain.
