O' Muse, tho' oft thee quill of sorrow's bite,
Thy gentle song, springs forth as fragrant rose,
In radiant bloom, aglow in welkin's light,
As flows thy pen; of inner depths disclose.
To hear thy golden voice, thy pulchritude,
Doth resonate as Venus from on high,
An angel's harp, lets us thy heart intrude,
Allowest man, to touch upon night's sky.
Upon a far and distant star, thee weep,
Beyond the realm of mortal man, thy pain
Transcends across known bounds of time, to leap
Deep chasms of one's soul, with pain's refrain.
In thy sorrow, Fair Muse, doth heaven sing,
Splendor, on feathered grace of angel's wing.

Mike--I was going to say splendid and awesome, but I think those above are right, exquisite is just the right word for this poem.

me thinks me would beg borrow and steal for your muse ..
your writing always impresses me and leaves me with such poetic envy
outstanding write...
the imagery, cadence and vocab is perfection of poetry

It's such a clever innocence with which you show myself to me
As if you know how it feels to never be who you wanted to be

It is hard to express emotion over reading this. You've crafted a fine poem, Mike.
It is just classic poetry and it's refreshing to read. Congratulations!
