My Soulmate



My sole companion she was
from birth till now
barely deserting me ever.
I ran from her
but she outran me.
Forced, I accompanied her
in spring, in frost
from hope to dark
from something to nothing.
I feared her, closed my eyes
Still she sat next to me.
I gave up in the end,
realizing the dire fact
She will never leave me.
I sighed and groaned
accepting her feebly
with open arms and huge smiles
My sole friend - my solitude.

But, my pan of fortitude 
empty soon, I prayed
to the Almighty for one visit
to Him in the eventual hope.
I prayed and longed:
At last, granted, He sent
for me, a raven
black as coal with heavenly glow
I glided onto it
but she was already there
Wont she leave me even now?
I spat at her with my ugly words.

He did not even flutter his eyes
I waited days and months together
She was still there -  my soulmate.
At last, I bowed before Him,
He opened his eyes, once
and gifted into my closed hands:
I didn't open open it, I knew 
It was a drop of love.
