Unbelonging of the Muses
we were universes colliding
We were universes colliding,
meeting only briefly
as ships passing in the night.
In that moment,
fleeting,
Heart was right.
We may have vowed,
in a different life,
that only death could divide
the paths of lovers,
destined.
But parting was like breathing,
and without it,
we were restless.
Muses rarely come in pairs,
and if they do,
they’re often scarce of room
to flourish.
We understood this,
but how sweet was the melody
of our longing,
nourished.
We were born to the sea,
Heart full of myths
and fantasies of lives we
never knew.
I found you in
the rolling waves and thunder,
saw your face
in sunrays, weeping
golden tears — a treasure
undiscovered.
We tried to be runaways
for a heartbeat or two,
but it ended,
as it always did, with
our universes calling through
to remind us that
unbelonging was part of
our destiny.
I will hold you
in memories of
shipwreck and careless
wonder,
Heart full of bliss
and fingerprints of my
distant lover.
We were universes colliding,
named for our
wreckage
and what we could
have been.
