Love Bringeth Life -

She couldn't live as a verse anymore,
She needed to be more than perfume on a pen,
more than a lovely dream for a hungry man,
to be touched beyond the torch
of twilight cool inspiration,
the Poet must give Her a body to behold,
to rescue Her from the curse
of a ghost feathered quill,
born of a bold blooded Angel
She will become Muse made warm woman real,
elegant as rose petal feel,
Her ancient thirst,
no longer slaked with ink of stellar burst,
the art of love will live
within the skin that She has suffered to win,
to parade through paradise
with a victor's pulse to survive,
Poet and Muse fused to sharpen
flame to flesh as lovers kiss the forbidden -

Dear Justin, This is so beautiful about muse and poet and the relationship between both and how the muse sometimes wants to be more than just the muse. Iv never thought of that, or imagined a muse would want to be more than just muse but this shifts my thoughts and perspectives! I love the way youv expressed here and the flow and how you phrase lines has this evocative soul stirring touch to it which really moves me as a reader, such a charismatic and heart touchint poem! Especially the last two lines! A fave for me! Sending you light always!

Yes Poetess, nothing and no one in the world suffers and sacrifices quite like a Muse whom touches the heart with self abandon...I'm so happy with how you've felt this poem...J.A.B.
