~ MYSTERY UNRESOLVED
You came into my life
like a wing of fire,
possessing and possessed
by something not seen.
When you first spoke
my books turned to clay,
and my throat closed
around a lost sonnet.
Your eyes burned over me,
leaving scars of rapture,
my spirit became a field
swept clean by flame.
Can you think how it was
that morning I woke first,
and found you,
an unbound mystery
by my side.
The air here now holds only emptiness,
a little dust stirring.
I think there will be wind tonight,
and owls will hoot
to distress my solitary sleep.
