Angel of My Lyceum Dreams
Angel of My Lyceum Dreams
Caravansary of souls
Where my tender sprout of youth
Lived after the steam of tears
Misted into ghosts in the crystal ball
Of a womanly vision
For my future dream
Of return to the lost carousel
Of the doctorate dreams
I’d left for dead
The corpse of a hope
So long on life support
Whose plug I’d pulled
Until her ebony magic
Gave me CPR
And she breathed life
Into my bleeding heart
When she unlocked my door
And walked into my darkened room
Catching me in a state of undress
And in my vulnerable nakedness
She apologized for letting herself in
When I was disrobed
But she didn’t miss a beat and took her seat
While I frantically zipped my denim
And with her smoky mezzo-soprano
She could have sold me
Madame Curie’s skin-glow lotion for eternal radiance

Author's Note
I was living at a transitional apartment place for the divinely touched. But I had to have a plan in order to stay there. So the apartment manager, a beautiful lady, let herself in my apartment when I was disrobed with wild dreams of me going back to college, a hope I'd long ago given up on. So mostly out of a need for a place to stay I agreed to her idea and enrolled in the university which led to three degrees including a master's. My parents were furious with her for even suggesting the idea of my return to college, but she didn't listen to them and stood by me with her dream of me graduating. I too, thought the idea was ridiculous at the time.
