Waking the muse

The muse slumbers so peacefullynot to be woken even with a kiss,the fountain sings a dewy lullabyfor dreams to sing behind her lidsWhat dreams does the muse dreamthus shaded from the afternoon sunher robes sighing languidly in the wind;the poet gazes with dreams of his ownThe soft breeze whispers warm secretsmercifully meant for the poet's… Continue reading Waking the muse

God's Kiss When, come the full moon, she prayssolemn, appellant, on her knees,invoking the God, who then descends and lifts her up, saying he's pleased; ordaining for her to simply name whatever gifts she may desire she asks only to sing his praise in lands even beyond his empire;he takes her face between his hands… Continue reading Song of the Priestess (1)

Gifts of the Muse As soft as love are her Arcadian dreams that unbeknownst to her, she channels;each earthly word with ethereal alchemy evokes both devotion and desires carnal.Zephyr heralds spring in songs she sings, Aphrodite makes a home in her verses;her quill moves the Earth to divine praise; Providence itself smiles upon the Poetess!… Continue reading Song of the Priestess (4)
