Le Beso Grande

my muse is beautiful in my eyes but not perhaps for everybody but every body has its own appeal so as i need not peel my fruit to taste and take lingu istic pleasure i cunningly among us listen to her dangling parti ciples and wait for it to come to its own fru ition but've often wondered why when women write say she sup posing to be their muse why not a he who breathes breath with a lock ed lip inspir ational kiss which may make a poem of love and or of death

I found so much beauty in this writing. A true tribute to the lucious flowers of the earth and the impressions they leave on so many.

Thank you so much Gayle for commenting. I would write this poem totally different now. The title should properly be "el beso grande"; tit for tat. BUT the true question to be answered is, "Do women artists have a male or female muse?" Since this poem was written years ago before all these proper pronouns, I'd love to read a poem that could express a non-gender muse; no matter gay or straight, the literal mouth to mouth transference of inspiration is no doubt sexual. Thanks again Gayle.
