Published in 1994
Inspired by a person
I didn't honestly know.
*
Winsome
Inspirited,
only to meander around
hoping to get a glimpse of the
felicity
*
Such a "Diamond in the Rough"
for to only attain
"La Dolce Vita"
once in a lifetime
*
But in the end, to be left
with this strange, strange
insatiable
feeling. . .
*
- Wm Kucera -
*
To rethink this poem with the person that I now know in my life.
*
Winsome (2022)
Always inspirited,
never to meander
only to know the felicity
*
So much more than a mere "Diamond"
to have now attained
"La Dolce Vita" in this lifetime
*
And in the end,
left thoroughly
quenched forever . . .
