Artwork Description:

I couldn’t take the beauty anymore In absence of a soul to share it with: The park more lovely than I’ve ever seen: A delicate new moon Against a veil of sultry clouds, The blue becoming green On buildings grander than belief – A eucalyptus pining for the stars, A bronze conquistador in dusky hue. In absence of a thought of what to do I had to leave, And my heart burned At that sad fact – And yes, I cursed myself for the courage that I lacked, But I simply couldn’t take it anymore Bewitched, beguiled and bothered was the theme Of a play I left suspended entre-act The actors took the stage when I had gone And played on love’s enchanted tangled weave But I dragged on home as one without a goal A dream – I left For I couldn’t take it, No not now, Nevermore. When beauty’s incarnation steals the stage When nature robs the breath within my heart, The simple chore of breathing is just that: A chore – And I left: Couldn’t take it anymore I was bereft, beaten, broken and no longer In that solitude no longed-for one can feel. You might think that walk would only make me stronger, But I cannot take such beauty anymore – Yet it’s only with such loveliness I’ll heal. Balboa Park Vista
