Music of the Muse's quill,
As sweet as song of whippoorwill,
Echoes not a call to arms,
No morals hid within her charms,
Haunting odes of melancholy,
Cloaked idyllic, pastorale,
Beauty of midsummer's night,
Darkness bathed in Luna's light,
Throbbing verse of biting sorrow,
Suggestions of a new tomorrow,
Her song flows not, in width nor depth,
But one pure note in angel's breath,
Speaking not in mortal word,
Cecilia sings in tongue unheard,
Falls on the ear in satin voice,
Symphony of night's rejoice,
Striking hymns, bring heart's extol,
Lance deep within, lance mortal soul,
Madrigals of passion's long,
Whispered psalm, of welkin's song,
Soft caress of longing finger,
Feathered touch of passion's linger,
Drawing nigh, sweet angel's grace,
On weathered skin, doth beauty trace,
With tenderness, Muse draws me near,
Her healing balm, strokes down my fear,
From forth the dark; night's shadowed veil,
Sings forth Fair Muse, sings nightingale.
On heaven's winds, Eros doth bring her,
Soft caress of longing finger,
Music of the Muse's quill,
I long fair Muse, I ever will.

This...this is what I long to write of, everything here.  This is so very lovely.
I'm so glad I saw this one.

Soft caress of longing finger,
Feathered touch of passion's linger,

Those lines were pure and refined! Beautiful!

Fair Damsal sings to poet's muse
Mellifluence as floret's hues
The echo of the nightingale
Resounds harmonic sweet regale

Well you certainly made it difficult to pick a favorite line or lines, but these I absolutely loved...
Her song flows not, in width nor depth,
But one pure note in angel's breath,

This was simply lovely.  Thank you.
