• My Muse returns, I think!

  For ever and more,
  I thought she shared
  my life!
  Her smiles were for me, and
  her love ran in the veins
  of my body.

  That she would leave me,
  I never imagined. She was
  the breath within my chest
  the heat of love, in the
  excursions of my lungs!

  One day, she left me. Holding
  the wine glass in her fingers
  she looked at me and said
  goodbye!

  Now I look at this empty glass,
  impression of her lips at the rim
  blood red, and inviting.

  This, this alone keeps me company
  through the decades of my silences.
