About the Author

If my writing ever takes me
Even close to notoriety,
(Or infamy; more likely)
And my poems marry paper,
Become books lost in libraries,
They will house a small biography,
Black and write and written for me,
(With a greyscale portrait, maybe)
And my life will be condensed.

'She lives, and she lives happily,
With the one she loves unfailingly.'
And that will tell sufficiently
Of the muse behind my words.

I like the interesting rhymes here. The way it is penned out is distinctly different from the majority of works that I have read, yet in a good way. Keep up the good work!

A very sweet dedication to your muse... the one you love so 'unfailingly.' Share it with him, as I know you will, and rejoice in your lives together.
