A tribute to my muse (and muses everywhere).
.
the coming of a muse
A woman in red
reveals powerful emotions
performing her tango
depicting a poet’s words
A matador’s blade
carved inspiring verses
of sharp metaphors
possessing the power of a bull
While a thousand church bells
rang in poetic harmony
as red carnations
stood in full bloom
proclaiming his heart aches for you
Cristo Redentor awaits with open arms
So does he
There was no need of red carpets
or trumpets sounding
when the universe conspired
when Pythia foretold
the coming of a muse

Catching up wth old messages. Apologies for my super late response.
Even after so many years, I still remember how hard it wass for me. I feel for you and what you had to go through.
The pain never truly goes away. But it will eventually be replaced by melancholy tears.
And the lingering memories of what he meant to you.
No need to respond, I just wanted to tell you that. Be well. Mayb you find peace in your heart.
