Poems and Thoughts    by Frank Maurer

Eva. A mistaken misdial, introduced me to Eva, 'The Russian Lady', as she declared herself to be; A Senior Consultant of a Boston firm. Texting back and forth together-- I, always anticipating a conclusion and an end. She sent a photo, upon which I have thoughtfully contemplated. Who might this young woman actually be? Dark, strong eyes, looking straight at me. Auburn hair flowing around her face. Lips that might so gently be touched. A sharp chin, which could depict tenacity. Generally, overall, a determined attitude towards life. In her texting photo she shows herself, Holding a brief of some sort, surrounded by files behind her. Russia, Canada, Texas, and Boston are her pedigree-- Travelled as much as I and still a mystery. With some gentle talk and a few poems, She might reveal her true person. Patience, dear one.
