I have seen lovers come and go

ghosts that pass through your life

leaving memories that dissipate

like the twilight mist

alone, but never lonely

your self-love precious

strongly manifesting itself

in those quiet moments

of reflection, pondering thoughts

glimpses of truth that enlighten your journey

filling your soul like a summer breeze

blowing into your most secret chamber

where you dance naked with butterflies

upon flower petals of tulips and roses

moonlight casting long shadows

amongst those that dare peek

turning men into stone

freedom your mantra

never caged, nobody’s slave

Your destiny to leap

amongst the heavenly bodies

that adorn the throne of God…
