In Exile No More

Excerpt from POET IN EXILE

In Exile No More Ricardo Saul “Crazy Moose” LaRosa I. I was in exile far from humanity; far from happiness, I was condemned to live alone; to die unloved, My only sin was that I believed in Hope; in Dreams; in Love, And I believed that one day I would be loved; so in love, II. I spent thousands of days in torment; alone, My heart pleaded for death; sweet, sweet death, I wished to live no longer; in solitude; in a living Hell, I had finally given up in me; but not in Love; nor you; wherever you may be, III. Then: one day I looked up in the distant heavens; afar; near Andromeda, A flickering of lights; tantalizing my soul’s desires; whispering my name, It seemed to glow brighter; closer to me; as though it knew my sorrows, As midnight passed this wondrous creature beamed brighter; closer; towards me, IV. Hope reigns, again; my heart desires to live, again; to love, again; as you approached nearer, Is that starship heading my way; I wondered in sadness, I knelt, my head bowed, with palms reaching; touching; embracing the Heavens: I prayed: Great Spirit of the Universe; do not forget this lonely soul; abandoned, In the farthest corner of the galaxy; where Life is no more; where Death dwells, V. © 2009 Ricardo Saul LaRosa

Excerpt from POET IN EXILE I cried; I yelled: Forgive me! If I believed in Love; too soon; too fervently, I have only longed for what is rightfully mine; no more; no less, I take full responsibility for my fall from grace; my rebellion; my sin, But not; nor ever; for believing in Love; for believing in Dreams that can come true; for me, VI. Like a furious hurricane from the seas; you invaded my world, You swept all my tears aside; you loved me as I am; for who I am; unequivocally, With all my insecurities; all my fears; all my faults; you made no judgments, Nor did you ask for much; only to be loved as I longed to be loved; passionately, VII. My love; my love; o’ sweet, sweetness of love; heartbroken no more; for you live in me, When I am with you; time ceases; my world is at peace; at last; and in love, I am in love with the one who loves me too; I am in a magical trance with you; lovingly, Never have I; nor ever shall I; love you; as I love today; tomorrow; forevermore… VIII. This love; our love; shall flourish beyond eternity; the known universe; and in my heart, A heart that has only known suffering; pain; abandonment; Death; a living Hell; no more, Since you have come into my world; exploding; bewitching; enchanting my soul; our love, I am in love because of you; your love; your very being; my life made whole; again! IX. I am in exile no more; This poet comes home to your embrace, Back to Earth, our wonderful world, Love; Life; © 2009 Ricardo Saul LaRosa
