? Apollo :: Greek God of Music and Light

Apollo, Greek God of Poetry, Art, Writing and Music

Oh, to be loved by a poet To be the poem that ignited their pride To be the one who offers no end to inspiration To be seen, not only by eyes but by heart and soul Oh, to be loved by an artist To be the one that lightens their eyes To be the one they create with, musing with such care Oh, to be loved by the writer To be the meaning behind their words To have them read to all, but written by me These are all such silly little thoughts Why would a poet love someone like me? Why would an artist love someone like me? Yet, to be loved by a poet, artist, or writer To be the one who sparks the joy in what they do I would never die; I’d live a thousand lives! I am ethereal, one of a kind! I’m a sight for sore eyes. No wonder they have a crush on me! Oh, to find a poet like me To be a muse, inspire, kindle their pen To be the one they come to for help and encouragement To be connected always by heart, soul and spirit Oh, artist paint me beautiful To be a sublime exquisite dream To be that divine creation that inspires your path Oh, could you write of me writer To be the one to embolden words To let words of me bleed from your pen on white These wild thoughts are but my fantasy Why would a poet or writer need me? Why would a glorious artist need me? But, I yearn for love of poet, artist and writer To be lover and friend, and source of joyfulness I would always exist in poems and in art ! I would be that forever eternal! I'm the sparkle they love. And now the world has a crush on me!

Two great poets and favorite of mine. So well executed. Well done both of you. Emotions abound. Great flow that you would not discern who is who. Best for a win.
