The Master Will Appear Poem by Etienne Charilaou

The Master Will Appear



The love of your life gone - dead.
This sad mantra you repeated:
What can you do?
What can you do?

This poem is in memory of you;
for ‘tis certain now;
whether in heaven or in nullity,
you are with the one you loved,
who loved you.

O, away with sadness;
I would rejoice, be happy or merry;
I know there will be another love -
I know it;
for before I was only warming up - and though
the ardour of my flame frightened at times;
and perforce has cooled;
yet brighter still something burns -
even the 1000-sun atomic glare seems pale in comparison
to what's raging there -
my heart going supernova.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
'The master will appear when the student is ready.'
This poem is for Estelle. If she did her job right then perhaps this student has surpassed his teacher?

I'd just like to add here that caffeine does wonders for my poetry, if not my nerves! :)
