Analysis of Undecided love

Odete Oliveira 1977 (USA)



Compromising sacred
Belonging to hatred
Feelings unlocked
Inside a box
Containing pieces
Which once were completeness
Opportunity has its limitations
While undecided wins patience
I am both the poison and the antidote
The unfolding of life has awoke
