Press play before reading. Salute.
(A lone voice whispers in the dark at 3 am)
Celine my beautiful nurse
This is for you and I can only pray and hope it gets through
For your delicate graceful touches were once so beautiful and incredibly captivatingly soothing
They always seemed to play a delightful melody to vanquish all my mortal fears
Like the rarest of heavenly sunsets that emerges with a twinkling smile in the midst of pink and red frontiers
When time itself appears to stop flexing and moving
Swirling above me like a god-like deity in a newly lit sky
Your memories are the quintessence of glamour in a night-time high society ball
Filled with dancing masked courting fireflies
Who once watched your every fluid movement in jaw-dropping awe
When they paused to rest on one of those hospital's beautifully wallpapered walls
A rare evening serenading the gathering of a few enamored sad spirits
Where honored souls gathered in their best blue dresses and bespoke white suits
To readily soothe any distress
Your tender soft hands
I can always remember
Moved like Mother Moon gently over my trembling horizons
Whispering my secret name and claiming me as your domain
For at that moment we became consummate devotees and no longer just worldly friends
A bright new light lit up a brave new world
A blazing beacon always breathed into night and never to be lost in those memories of delicious soft touches in that spectacular twilight
Under the keen gaze of your total devotion
I could only reflect my love and gratitude in my hazel colored lens
As the impending darkness surrounded us like an old friend
Your name still sings a lasting symphony of happiness
And lingers in the celestial as angels watch and smile
No man-made treaties or paper laws or masks can separate us
For now, your memories in the Midnight Sun
Wildly run
I'll never lose this particular twilight and these baptized rays will never lose their red and pink hue
For when we first met
I'll always remember that I willingly sunk knee-deep into your green and blue
Since in that magical transference of spiritual energy circling within your eyes
I knew in that metaphysical moment
Why God had sent me as you came into view
And it's why now
I'll always just belong to you
My angel in the darkness called Celine
A beautiful nurse who was once my queen
