You seemed like a piece of a puzzle
Your lines looked the same, your colors though were different.
As if that were not enough, you were so difficult
By being torn apart in a mild gust
You were so fragile as if you were about to fall apart.
At every turn, fearlessly, tirelessly
I had you pull round.
I was not in a hurry
We had plenty of time
And I completed you in the end.
My only dream was to take a look for life.
But you were a forbidden picture
You couldn’t be exhibited and shown
For all the world to see, freely.
You wouldn’t be hiding all the time
After all, you wouldn’t fit in.
Neither I was able to take you, nor was able to sell you
And in the and I dropped you
In a disused post box…
