Upon an
altar of
gleaming white
I lay my
offerings
Pouring words
in libation
to this virgin
deity
But
Gods and muses
will not be
appeased
this day

I am humbled

Enjoyed the truth here mixed with a bit of a smile. The Blank Document is a scary thing sometimes.

Raph... when the ink stops, the music flows (and vice versa...) -- maybe, write a song? (At the moment, poetry's commanding my attention...).

I liked the mythological context here. I might steal the theme for a short story, actually..j/k.

Did you used to post at moontown.cafe?

No Ice or Jess (if you don't mind)never posted before, actually to be honest never wrote before. I found this place two weeks ago and have written all but 2 of the poems withing those weeks. Before that i hadn't really written in about 7 years.
