      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Surviving Loving a Ghost - Fania Simon

      poetry.

      Soul mate and Poetry

      Stage 1

      SECTION 1

      Divine Lady Edgar

      1. Beauty like the lilies in the mist of daisies

      Brain like a bull—a storm, or a leading stream

      Heart like engaging—sweet waters

      Surrounding all curing hibiscus

      2. Locks like Jesus’ wool

      Skin like honey and copper

      Eyes like firestones --stretching across the

      rainbow...

      Garments made from Morocco’s gold bars

      3. O. True beauty rest on the inner part of me,

      the celestial lady

      My God! Why haven’t you pursued me?

      Looking For the One My Heart Loveth

      4. Yesterday about this time

      I was in the City of York: and possessed

      I went down to Ellisville

      I was searching for the one whom my heart

      loveth

      5. Like a strong mortal in a trance

      I walked. With my own shadow, I walked

      But back on Flatlands, I saw the man with no

      eyes

      I stopped him dead on his tracks

      6. ‘Sir, do you see the man whom my heart

      loveth?’

      And the black man with no eyes pointed to

      Glenwood Road

      A clean Road full with Orchids

      And I walked—and I walked until my veins

      were tired

      7. Oh, I have yet to find the one whom my

      heart loveth!

      Inspired by Song of Solomon

      My Life, His Way

      8. Don’t tag me Pagan!

      For my mission is too powerful...

      Oh storming weather!

      Here’s the casket with wings...

      Cause truth shall not disappear

      9. Don’t follow me Pagan

      My footsteps are far-reaching

      10. Don’t step behind me...

      And don’t step ahead of me.

      Just set your heart in motion

      And earn you own prize.

      Lady Edgar Met a Man That Night

      11. From that first night out in Manhattan

      She was satisfied

      And since he was the only player in this

      game,

      Only he knew his true position

      12. From day one they connected

      Hence, she thought God sent him

      13. Like a treacherous sin,

      He unblocked her weeping pipe

      And now she is drained

      Egoism

      14. Life foolishness kept me here

      ‘Cause I thought

      I met the man of my dream

      15. That night, the stars were so bright...

      And during the course of that discovery

      Intercourse had no life

      16. From him, there was no sympathy

      Simply .a rush for the nest

      17. O. The cock is still crowing

      But when summer left

      The only heart attached was cock’s heart

      And with no surprise

      Silent tears were once again my best wines

      Farewell Macho man!

      Shortly After

      18. My brief encounter with the moon has

      ended,

      Still, I value him as a friend...

      And if I ever hurt his feelings,

      I am sorry

      19. O, I have so much to say!

      I wish I could talk to him today

      However, I know he would not want love to

      stay

      Hey!

      Don’t be a stranger...

      SECTION 2

      L’amour [Love]

      20. O what a feeling?

      While I was out the clouds called

      So, how could I be so wrong?

      When my heart is leading me this way?

      21.These days, I hear strange sounds roaring

      from the skies

      O lonely the heart of mine!

      Tears met earth and earth is melting

      22. Underneath his feet,

      My king left me fading

      Now, tell me.

      How could I be so wrong when my heart led

      me here?

      I thought we would tie the knot the old

      fashion way

      A friend of a friend

      23. If only he knew

      Lord, he has no clue!

      My heart is beating for him

      24. A friend of a friend...

      And I long for a scene

      Where I’ am resting in his arms

      Spending every moment on earth with him

      25. O! Here at the fountain

      Here near the lotus garden

      Here beneath the heavens on earth—

      I want that man

      Should I tell him?

      Love Kite

      26. This is the straightforward truth

      One night

      One sight

      Lay me down to sleep before the light

      So like a kite, my love can fly?

      Sir, nurse me back to health.

      Go on…

      Test my faith!
