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
