Such an anchorite comet,
Since an eternity,
Lonely heart,
I had wandered,
In a universe,
Dark and icy.
Random trajectory,
Aimlessly,
I roamed,
Towards nowhere.

I'm guessing this poem is about a lost soul heading towards an unclear direction (I roamed,/Towards nowhere -- 9-10) in a cruel existence with no clear beginning and no clear ending (I had wandered,/In a universe,/Dark and icy./Random trajectory,/Aimlessly," -- lines 4-8), not sure of when his existence ends and not sure of when his existence began, the passage of time forever being infinite.

I'm guessing "random trajectory" can be interpreted as a path not going forward, not going backward, and constantly in medias res. (First stanza).

To sum up what I know of the second portion... discovering true purpose in life and euphoria can never be planned, but happen without indication and without warning (i.e.: "True love happens when you least expect it.).

Hope my short analysis makes sense and I really liked reading your poem.
