Perpetual Poetry

“Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.” Rumi Life can be an incomplete glossary, speech a haunting ghost, in search of a perspicuous poem - to express unspoken thoughts. I remember when she said, "Cue me poetry" So, I became her perpetual poet, engraving sweet soulful words upon her bitter spiritless lips. Fate had turned her into the Queen of Darkness, but my heart glows in the dark. Together we illuminated like a trillion twinkling stars, outshining the enigmatic effervescent moon. Her essence infused a refreshing presence, like morning sunshine after a night of rain. Slowly she became a pilgrim of my poetry, and I, a sojourner lost within her soul. As I wandered through her secret chapters, my word weaving revealed her book of scars, each drop of ink resembling her tepid tears. Each vexatious verse purified through a catalyst of catharsis, healed her wounds. We are like quill and scribe, vowels complimenting consonants, completing an impeccable vocabulary - without her there is no muse.
