~Muse of a Lifetime~ Your love sets my quill in motion Inspired by unwavering devotion One touch upon your velvet flesh Causes verse to flow and mesh ~*~ Passion that makes ink wells smolder Each line contrived brazen and bolder Your embrace causes stanzas to interlace Beauty and motion of effortless grace ~*~ A tear upon your face slices woven pain Upon the pages they are carefully lain Times apart flow like crystal thread Falling softly...soaking their linen bed ~*~ You inspire cadence in my veins Wrapping the threads of golden skeins You enkindle the flames to dance By the light of a burning trance ~*~ As I prepare to lay this pen to page With the waves of weave we engage For within my thread of golden rhyme Lays my muse.....the muse of a lifetime  |

And such a beautiful muse he/she has become. Yes, I do believe he/she carries with him/her the wings of an angelic butterfly for sure. Beautifully penned once again my friend. Just love how your poetry is growing as of late, not that it was ever lacking anything at all.< !signature--> A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. author unknown [This message has been edited by Mark Bohannan (edited 12-06-2000).] |

Oh, my Butterfly, this is another poem that can make an old body wonder if such love and feelings are real! You live in a different world than me. I am happy with your happiness.   Love and hugs, ME |

Holly- it seems that each poem i read from you is even more beautiful than the last...and this one is no exception... 'You inspire cadence in my veins Wrapping the threads of golden skeins You enkindle the flames to dance By the light of a burning trance' and the muse of a lifetime it is... wonderful! hugs, ~vicky "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truely met the poet." -vlraynes |

'Your love sets my quill in motion Inspired by unwavering devotion One touch upon your velvet flesh Causes verse to flow and mesh' Oh, how when we've found that muse! What flows from the pen is breathtaking! I can definitely relate, butterflies!! Love this!! sp  'cause I am hanging on every word you say, and, even if you don't want to speak tonight, that's alright, alright with me... |

Holly, So nice to see you writing of love and life. That muse of yours is going strong these days. I hope she never stops. Beautiful, butterfly. LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Butterflies, I know I have not been around much. Nevertheless, this is my 800th, and I looked for your latest, and was impressed. To a special butterfly, cheers. Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |
