the troubled one –
the one that nearly died inside
was brought back to life
in the resurrection of the soul.
it is here
she grabbed him by the hand –
the lovely erato
and took him to a place on high,
and new he had suffered deeply,
to explore the various aspects
in recovery and individuality of all that is eager
to get away from past routines.
later that afternoon,
they went for a walk,
and sat under a large willow
where there was a mattress
made out of interwoven vines.
and knew that if it lasted further,
he’d slip back into darkness.
peaceful as it was,
she handed him
the muse cyrstal of love.
she leaned over,
whispered in his ear,
and then was on her way.
he took the crystal
and started to examine it.
on the back side,
the words all of the suddenly appeared,
kinda like the magic 8 ball –
but fashioned as an
ultimate charm creator.
it was like a flushing and fusion mobilizer
for any soul twice bitten
that needed constant mystical intervention
as the words in their mesmerizing read:
ALL ENERGY CREATIVE COMPANION –
MUSE BRINGS THE LOVE –
ALSO HER LOVE TOO.
whatever he did,
those cyrstals kept working,
and when he wrote,
the sweetness flowed out.
later on, he threw out his tragic mask forever
when he met the love
of his life at a poetry reading.
