She is Poetess

She slumbers on a bed of rose petals,
never waiting on a midnight breeze
to seize her ivory flame.

She finds peace in her name.

And I, in awe, not envy
take comfort in her sketches of silken secrets,
her delicate displays
against a canvas of harsher tones.

I surrender to her portrait
as I trace its origins with my flesh.

I believe her.

Yet my spirit trembles in knowing
I shall never capture her claim.

And though I gather petals at dusk
and hum lullabies in the dark,

I will never have her name.

Oh, I don't know...
I think the name "Poetess" fits you
VERY well...

It's so good to have you back in the blue,
my friend.

This is lovely, Patricia. A delicate weave of thoughts and reflection of an artist. Such a beautiful flow to this piece, I very much enjoyed.

Best wishes,

I do believe a poetess is born...and now
shall grow and continue to blossom...
For quite some time...yes,  quite some time.

Patricia, you just disproved your claim,
For this piece of poetry gives you her name!
