Adieu My First Love
So unseasonably early you have been taken
From me.
So untimely you have crossed the line
Into access to mortals denied territory.
So unexpectedly you have found the eternal bliss
Without me.
So prematurely you have stared God face to face
But I stay terminally blind to his sight.
So much ahead of your time, I believe, you have touched the Infinite
Me, not yet.
So on the dot you have tasted deadly breath
Unlike me who still slurps on life selfishly.
So in the bud you have been stabbed by the darkness
While I am basking in the daylight.
So in advance you have danced away from
ME.
Time, precious, ticking
For everyone,
Differently.
Why was your watch stopped prematurely?
Moon, please, Moon,
Give me a spoonful of answers.
Feed me a mouthful of light to taste you closer
Within me.
We will have our encore, I am certain, in a different place, at a different time,
In a different life form.
We will both know,
It’s us once more
Bound as one.
Adieu!
My first love.
