Musica Universalis

1

Enjoy the ride, because that’s what love is,

A masterpiece of moments - pure and true,

A kaleidoscope of colours - brilliant and vivid,

A rollercoaster of emotions - in the deepest hues.

2

Twirling and twinkling in celestial harmony,

Serenades of affection, illuminating felicity.

Like stars in night’s sky - we danced; we swayed,

Unbridled passion, embellished in every shade.

3

Her mind, unconventional,

A hive of creativity,

A macrocosm of thoughts,

Guarded in secrecy,

With every word expressed, she set my spirit free,

Upon grounds where we’d play make believe,

The two explorers, dug up my inner Fellini,

Everything good inside of me -

Elicited from dormancy.

When she disappeared, so too did my ingenuity,

Struck by writer’s block,

So, to finish this verse off…

Come up with your own damn analogy.

4

In whispers of the sun and moon,

Lingering shadows play majestically,

Their echoes cast silent stories.

The corridors of time,

Engulf fading memories,

A liberating release,

A means to locate peace.

5

In a mind that knows without doubt…

Finita la musica,

A familiar voice chuckles sagaciously,

“That’s nice, but sorry Mister, you are mistaken!”

Sounds good to me, but… who are you?

My soul? My higher self?

I know you’re not ‘Hope’,

I bid her farewell, long ago.

“May be so, but you haven’t met ‘Destiny’

She marches to the beat of her own drum,

This rubenesque lady sings when she’s ready.”

6

Playful banter resonant,

In laughter’s sweet melody,

Each note paying homage to Her authenticity,

A symphony of love, ‘music of the spheres,’

Tender, inspiring, a sonnet sincere,

As shadows danced beneath moon's soft veneer.

7

Her essence - my beacon in darkest night,

In its warm glow,

I basked in consummate delight,

A lighthouse guiding through storm’s might,

To a haven of elation, resplendently bright.

Yet, how was I to know…

That the brightest of glows,

Cast the darkest shadows.

8

In night’s sky, where constellations align,

Our souls converged in cosmic design,

Like universes in unison - Hers and mine,

Expanding together,

Forever, in time.

9

Time and distance – The Great Facilitator of change

Time and distance – The Patient Shepherd of healing and growth

Time and distance – Teacher of lessons

And Her – My greatest teacher of all

10

Each moment a thread, weaved into tapestry,

The fabric of time’s patchworked allegory,

Mapping the journey to self-discovery,

Allowing detailed anatomy of a turbulent history,

To correct the course of my own trajectory.

Perhaps in the next life, or a parallel reality,

Our connection transcends all boundaries,

Unseen but felt, in blissful reverie,

Lavishing sweet nothings beyond infinity.

11

With wisdom's compass, I navigate stars,

Discovered strength within, to mend hidden scars,

Along time's winding path,

I seek my place,

Content in setting

My own pace,

I didn’t see, any victory,

In winning a rat race.

Priorities change,

I lost the drive for a meteoric rise,

Yet, ever the dreamer,

I looked up to the skies,

Set sights on new heights,

And spread my wings to take flight.

12

Sometimes best friends become strangers.

I surrendered to the wind’s changes,

Allowed the breeze to carry me,

Ceased wasting energy,

On someone who no longer wanted me,

Let go of all that I’d resisted.

The love I held dear,

No longer existed.

13

On this artistic odyssey,

Like Homer’s characters,

Attaining wisdom in my folly…

D’oh!

I must press on, carving my own way,

I’m 12,000 days,

In a lifelong lesson.

As weeks became months,

Those months turned to years,

When I think of Her now,

I remember this idea...

Musica universalis,

Then, I know somewhere out there,

In another plane of existence,

In the spacetime continuum,

Plays sublime symphony,

We live in perfect harmony,

The sun and the moon,

Ineffably in tune,

An inaudible melody,

Only heard by the soul -

Eternity’s embrace.
