Upon a Scarlet Sky
- Upon a Scarlet Sky -
Upon the canvas of the heavens I did gaze.
Watching the east, the autumn sky above…
And in the early hours of the morning haze,
There came to me, one I once did so love!
She was golden of hair, eyes brightly blue,
Her flowing jumpsuit white, with flowers…
Of green and pink to complement her true.
I was still enamored of her heart’s powers,
To touch me deeply with but one glance…
And so I called to her, forgetting her name.
Centuries it had been since our romance…
But my heart was drawn, a moth to flame!
“Ariel!” she called to me and I was held…
By that invoking: of a name holding power.
Once, before that name the fearful so knelt,
When time was still young in its’ own hour!
I felt the sting of tears as I gazed upon her,
For bitter was the recalling of the old days.
Projections from the past, within did stir…
And she shone: as can a star’s golden rays.
Like the dawn, and with it came that flash,
Which is the illumination of truth’s courses.
I remembered feeling such heavenly wrath,
But it eased, with the aid of gentler forces!
“Call me Aurora”, she said with such grace,
And I bade her to hold me as once of old.
As I stood spellbound by her angelic face,
The great women spoke, with voice bold:
“I have ascended, and have such little time,
So one single kiss: will have to convey all.”
She kissed me, in the dawn most sublime,
As a scarlet like fire, upon the sky did fall.
I understood so much and I was weeping,
When she vanished from my side at last…
But some loves are not for mortal keeping!
Some memories belong to the distant past.

I am so happy you loved the poem!
And I offer you my deepest sympathy on your loss. That sounds like a truly tragic thing to bear!
Love is a powerful thing. Those we have loved are never at all truly gone from us, but a part of us always. Even across the years, distances, or even lifetimes (for those who happen to believe in reincarnation). Loss is always hard to bear when it first hits us, but time can ease the sting, and even stometimes heal it entirely.
But we never can or will forget the people whom we have loved, nor should we. To touch another's heart and soul so deeply, and to be touched that deeply in turn, is all part of being human.
I hope you find peace and happiness, my friend. Just as I too am seeking. :)
