Her

My muse doesn’t understand my poems 
She just likes to hear me speak 

You give her a flower and a gentle smile 

And she starts to dance through my eyes 



You flirt a tiny bit 

Slowly hold her hand 

She’ll show you heaven 

She’ll show you the brightest corners of the moon 

Look into her eyes, you’ll no longer speak of gloom 



She walks on sunsets, the night stars worship her cicatrices 

When I talk to the skies they tell me that the rainbows dance to her laugh 

Jason forgot about the fleece when he saw the quater of her half 



She continues to mesmerise me 

Hades left the underworld 

Persephone sowed her flowers 

Even Aphrodite loathes me now 

For only hers is the nectar, I devour.   



I taste ‘Dolce Far Niente’ as I inhale her moonlike skin 

He hates me for my wrongs 

She’s the only right I’ve ever done 

If I were to fight Hydra for her 

Hercules could have never won 



 And I’d give her the world, I really would 

But the world doesn’t know me.  

Between my sun and moon it’s only her who ever stood.
