White Cosmic Wind/ Overtone Peacock Moon of Radiance, Day 2

13 Ik

  

White Cosmic Wind

 

A Phantom have I

Lived with near a Year –

An inner Voice

A disembodied Face

 

A separate Self –

Beloved yet apart –

A ghostly Lover

Occupies my Heart

 

His surface Charm

Hides Depths unfathomable –

Deadly and immortal both –

Wild Resentment grows there

 

Upon him, I projected

Every Wound and Crime

Committed from my infancy

Until present Time

 

I fashioned him a Hero –

That insubstantial Soul –

But when I cut him loose, I saw

The Hero is my Self, made whole.
