Epiphany

In the ancient scrolls
was a secret
so profound
she knew it was going to change her.
She had stumbled upon it
accidentally
in a spiritual quest to attain
herself.
She was in her room
surrounded by a halo
of a deep shade of red
by passions
she hadn't explored
and then a kaleidoscope burst around her
in colors that defied explanation
she was a mass of sweat and pure pleasure.
She lay back
sated and complete
it was then that she realised
she didn't need him any more.
If this union she had just found
with the cosmos
was anything at all
she didn't need anyone.
As she looked up at the ceiling fan
whirring noiselessly in the midnight
she smiled and slept.
