My Muse

Happy days, my darling  
Happy nights, to you
I lost the fight
To cuddle tonight
But I won a victory, too

You are my inspiration
You are the poems I do
When we are done
Sharing the fun
Chasing the morning dew

Guess you know, I’m lonely
Even the moon, is too
You are the poem
Calling me home
Making my dreams come true

If I should choose
My favorite muse
My choice would still be you
You charm the glow
Off any ‘bow
And paint the colors too

Write me a dream, tonight dear
Write me an I O U
Shoot me a beam
More than a gleam
Shine me a starry view

You are the rosy sky, love
Cloud-covered scarlet hue
Fading to black
Calling me back
Sailing an ocean blue

Robins are right for morning
Willows are weeping too
Sunflowers sing
Any old thing
Nature is on to you

If you should write
Words of delight
Something that poets do
Follow your muse
Payment of dues
Follows an “I love you.”

Just reading your poems Bryan, I sense poetry comes naturally to you. You put much thought into each piece and always ensure the cadence is spot on. You invest in your work and it shows. I love this piece. Cheers - Gary

Hi Gary, I just got back from the hospital to find your comment, only 2 for this poem and only a N/A for the contest. Thank you for the kind words. Happiness begins with a conception of caring-for-life, demands our involvement, supposes our success. Happiness is the by-product of our success. The purpose of life, however, is to care for life in a kind, thoughtful, and compassionate way. Our reward is joy, which is forever. Goodbye for now, my friend.

Oh, this is pure delight, Bryan. VERY nicely done. I have no clue how the winner will be chosen. So far I am seeing only fantastic poems on muses.
