Farewell

I thought you were my divine call

I thought my souls was part of yours

Never had I felt such affinity

electric, galvanic, mystic chemistry

 

I babied my sacred desire

I nurtured my blessed flower

cocooned in my parallel reality

clean pure without artificiality

 

I felt God could not make mistakes

coincidences were designs of fate

I lived the quiet life of a nun

As love conspired and spun.

 

Until one day……..

 

I saw your face in a cheap magazine

As a heart throb of million teens

Swarms of women buzzing around you

Love struck, giddy, bowing down to you.

 

What…………

 

Humiliation trickled down my cheek

Bile rose into dry heaves

I felt like buzz lightyear of Toy Story 1

My love was a joke shared by everyone.

 

What spirituality, what celestial globe

Is God just a “spot” in our parietal lobe

What affinity, what hysteria

Is love a trick of ventral tegmental area

 

But life goes on even for clowns

I close this chapter and try to move on

A falling autumn leaf is trying to tell

Gracefully sway down and bid farewell
