My Soul Paramour

Years, gone from this world

yet, my heart still mourns

for my soul paramour

he showed me myself

the one I keep hidden

he was there to help

heard more than listened

my soul was weeping

with the things I never said

unshed tears in keeping

the way he was in my head

no romantic liaisons between us

but the strings were finely woven

like two galaxies dancing in cosmos

my inspiration, my Messier 81

I write to him often

but the wound never heals

a part of my soul is with him

and that part keeps him real

-M.E.
