Monologue of Salvatore to his beloved Nicola

 









Will you only to me surrender and throw away

All those damn heavy old and foolishly cherished emotional suitcases

And tattered old memory-filled diaries and calendars


To then try to standstill at my very core


My secretive hidden enclave

In the complicated beating maze at its very centre


And seductively demand so many more

Wild willing exhilarating soul-soothing adventures


Would you proudly embrace a new profound life

Overflowing with unique experiences and never resent her


Bestowed by our Goddess

Our old golden mother called Love


As she breathes into us an unusual rebirth

To always lift our sometimes tired and weary souls

As she tries to teach us


To always find the humility and grace

To always take a sip of her fine exotic priceless red wine


To cherish her ambience and all its emotional resources

As we both get drunk on some of her many souls defining courses


And then to buckle up to ride smiling and carefree into the upcoming wilderness

Sated and joyous upon one of her many wild emotional horses


You, the untamed unruly one who'll listen as my soul pleads to confess

And I your forever suitor


Ordained and anointed by those in the shadows

Who if asked or pressed would simply answer


Like fate

Both your destinies have already been pre-set

A dash of poetry as I relax, inspired by a rather engaging film, I watched late last night.

Are relationships preordained, or are they simply fleeting experiences and fluid exchanges between two tragic souls?

Salute.
