Rose Thorns

i know
it's her
translator
sometimes
referring her

self as she
but she is
an out of
worldly
being

she is
as her is
to me but
possessivly
suggesting my

but not meaning
mine even when
using "my Musa"
for she willingly
gives me poetry

that is
hers

So true. My Musa is a real woman. I cannot possess her. Neil Young sang it best in his song "Love is a Rose": "lose it all when you say the word mine". Thanks for the comment Silent One.
