Anitra

Putting my obsolete pen to paper

It’s so difficult to do

You’ve vanished into the loneliness vapor

I met you ten years ago

We shared secrets and stories

Last ten I missed you grow

Went back through old emails

I know you’ve left the safe harbor

You’ve put up your last sails

How did love catch an early flight?

When our calendar’s weren’t ready

Your brown eyes were a magical sight

You’ve left us all so incomplete

We memorialize your beauty

Your heart so sweet

A smile of radiance and splendor

I am an obscure friend at a distance

In awe of your heart’s surrender

On my wall hangs a portrait by your brush

You are never to be forgotten

My hand shares the very same crush

Remembering your brightly lit soul

You were the courageous lioness

My vacant heart now has a cavernous hole

So as the cupid drifts into eternity

Know that you are your own captain

Of your forevermore destiny 

An artist’s early end

My heart sinks to a lover’s sorrow

An angel will now ascend
