Just A Simple Musk-Filled Muse, Reaching For The Sun


This was inspired by Silent One's poem,  
"Prisoner Of Poetry"  

Let me loose the trellis that holds on to my roses
weave every thorn I own around your open space 
I do not twine nor do I have a tendril to boast of 
but I do own beauty and the scent of Rose Khalid  

Let me penetrate your senses with my wildish ways 
cleaving shadows of your night, I will bring you day 
I am not a flower to be cast aside just like the rest   
take good care of me and I will surely bloom in May 

Let me be your muse's musk, powdery sweet like earth   
leaving trails of inspiration on your velvet book of love  
I am not a garden trinket nor your favorite rose my dear 
talk to me as if  I were a prayer, written just for thee. 

For I am no longer a prisoner of your poetry Dear One  
just a simple musk-filled muse, reaching for the Sun...
