The Muse


With clinquant, magic gauze, the muse refines
inner chaos-clouds, to enclothe a globe-
Goddess of a poet's needing nature,
And collector of a bless'd wardrobe.

She turns meanders into stretching straits
of lines that lave mind's eye, through and through:
Beholding grace, disposed to many states,
Brightly dight, and dripping starlit dew.

O how the night becomes her subliming,
With cadenced flow and force, immensly strong,
Pushes forth the writer into rhyming,
And sings forever in her silent song.

Great images, Poeminister.  Liked this one a lot.

I can imagine my own muse in this, good write.

Don't ever give in, if you do you've lost everything you've ever had and everything you hope to gain, but if you carry on your already winning.

"I think that I
should love to be
the muse who hath
so taken thee..."

You speak much more clearly of your muse than do I ... and I love it!
