For My Wife

A silhouette slipped into view.
Blurred contours unearthly & new.

A wispy figure afloat on desire.
Her impossibly dark eyes, my blackened fire.

A shape so foreign I couldn’t perceive.
The unworldly enchantress will bend my knee.

Our souls ignited, in concert we burned.
Decadent decades dripping with all I yearned.

A fulfilled life, together buried under the same tree.
Breadth banished, shape shed, eternity agrees.
