Come to me ,
vixens of prose and verse
passionately wrap your
wordy fingers
around my neck

Embrace me in whispers
of hidden sacred
thought
never before uttered

Visit my sleep
in dreams and visions
of form and line
till none but couplets
and stanza
fills my waking breath

Flow sweet muses
flow from mind to pen
blessing its journey
with full lyric lips

Pen touches paper
word becomes flesh
dressed in mortal ink

Sweet vixens bear witness
for your work is done

for on this winter day
a poem is born

Guess you didn't read my post tonight
LOL, not my best tender wordwrappings.
But here's wishing your dreams are filled with beautiful meandering muse maidens offering chalices of tantalizing golden wine, enticing beds of downy softness,
soft sweet whispers tickling your ears,
and...
enjoyed this read
