Debbie Guzzi Poet Romanticism

Prometheus Unbound

To gaze on your form
reveling in lassitude
ankles crossed
arms cradling a lolling head,

is to know mystery.

Unwritten tomes
etch the surface of furrowed brow.
Eyes arrayed in perpetual humor,
the brawn of chest rising and falling
with satisfied breath

speaks only of peace.

To gaze upon your form
in wonder such a precious gift.

Maleness surmounts you
from the arch of your cheek bone 
to the blue black flutter at your wrists.

You shall be used unabashedly
as all artists do
my Prometheus
my fire
my muse.
