Aharmatia

If the dark angel
rings your bell,
oftimes a simple muse
will become our hell-
If on enticement's path
the furies we chance
pur inspiration is led
a merry dance-
If time lies idle
upon our hands
and to soft whispers,we hark,
our endeavours  miss the mark

Listen close,which twin to choose
Enticement's fury or inspiration's muse

If I were your biographer, just by writing about your poetry I would be famous ... no convention holds you, except your own.

Hamartia an interesting concept with the slight way you describe a simple excess with a mistake and wait on a tragedy soon to be. Listening is the right choice, one should not be willful on violating the gods' and their laws. Love the action and inspiration here. Adding this poem to my favorites (LIN~RA)
