Pavel Frolov

Like New

Dear Friend –
my Heart was Broken 
when I met you – 
it was Overdue to Mend

forgive me if I had alarmed you 
when I teared in your Arms
still Healing from the Harm
of Other Places I have Been to 

Like New
my Heart is
PUMPING UP
a NU JAZZ Beat

such Joy
to see you 
laughing 
let us keep on 
dancing
