My Muse Resides

I see in creases no others found
where souls seem low 
and duty bound

where sparkle waits
in dreamlike states

amid anxious eyes
here her smile lies

I see in darkness under guise of moon
where beauty moves
no heart's immune

where kindness roams
alive in poems

held deep inside
my muse resides

Oh..I'm speechless...This is so very beautiful and comforting...It makes the museless muse feel special and pampered at times when she 's confused and at her lowest.Lucky muse to be treated so kindly.. A Fave and a 10.

Like this very much. Always interested to read poems about the muse. Good rhythms. Like the repetition of 'I see'. Doing a fair bit of that repeating thing myself at present. All the best to you.

Sigh! I breathe deep as I internalise the beautiful lines. What a genius you are! A 7, no doubt.
