she whispers low, a hushed embrace as if to sing a siren's song "come, listen to my muse-borne voice" a ballad sweet with words so strong I stretch the sistine finger-reach as though she surely speaks for God and wonder how I could face my quill I bow my mind with a simple nod "I surrender", I softly say for there's no inspire without her voice my mind steps out...she comes to play when she knows I've finally made my choice the words are penned with blazing speed and when I wake, 'tis those I read for when I wake, she takes her leave |

she whispers low, a hushed embrace as if to sing a siren's song "come, listen to my muse-borne voice" a ballad sweet with words so strong ... "I surrender", I softly say for there's no inspire without her voice" Wow! The call of the Siren, I just adore this type of mythical figure, and you have put a wonderful twist on it here. And please know that I have read this piece several times, and I just now realized that I forgot to respond to let you know how much I enjoyed it. Oppps! I appologize. always seeking joy, adventure and romance and wishing you find the same |

yann, thank you so much for reading and commenting...modesty? I can only say that I am proud of that. Callista, not sure, my friend, not sure TD, I think I wait for your comments sometimes just so I can see something fresh in what I have written. Thanks for being so kind. Janette, thank you kindly and certainly no apologies necessary...I know that I do that all the time |

steavenr...Enjoyed very much. Maybe that muse of your's will stay awhile during the time you are awake. Once I was sleeping and a poem came to me, I woke up grabbed pen and paper and wrote it in about 10 minutes, it was about my 2 grand daughters, so I gave then a copy long ago...Paul ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |
