To My Muse :POTD:

All night I was ensnared by the thought of you,
An unexpected yet enchanting muse,
Lost in the labyrinth of your deep, haunting eyes,
A smoldering ember of desire within me lies.

Your passionate whispers, a seductive symphony,
Unapologetic affection setting us both free.
To trace the trails of your warm, silken skin,
Knocking softly at your door, as you let me in.

Your embrace, a refuge from the chill of the night,
As we entwine beneath the moon’s silver light,
Breathless sighs and fervent moans,
You ascend atop me, you’re my queen and I’m your throne

In this nocturnal realm, you reign supreme,
A midnight monarch in a gothic dream.

Congratulations,! Since it was 3 years before i was a POTD,i know it’s a real stand-on-the-cake moment! Took my breath away. This is masterfullydone. Personally, i interpreted it as loving your muse to getting not only inspiration but some blissful s***#@“%69….too? or am i just a dirty old lady? Superfaster-than-a-speeding-bullet penning!

Sassy Sally brings her Nasty!!! and I’m loving it. ;0 your not a dirty old Lady, (but if you are, even just a little, that’s ok), you are amongst good company, no judgement here! This is the edited and toned down version too. A smoldering desire, can rage into a ferocious, fervent flame.

Hello Daniel, Wow, what kind and inspiring words my friend. But honestly, I am undeserving of such high praises and acclaim. I’m overwhelmed with all the praise, compliments, love and support pouring from this community. Truly unlike anything I have ever experienced. I am honored and humbled by all of this. However, I am left conflicted, perhaps a touch of imposter syndrome.

' You ascend atop me, you’re my queen and I’m your throne. ' This image is beyond breathtaking. It's beautiful, mysterious and magical. So sensual and playful. Congratulations Edward, on Poem of the Day. I'm floating somewhere in the clouds, and my heart is fluttering. :) Brandy

So nice to meet you Anaya, I’m humbled to have this honor bestowed upon me. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on my other works. A funny side note, “The Hypocrite” was inspired by a fellow bard here at PS ;-) a not so warm welcome when I first joined. It is one of my favorite pieces. May I also suggest “My Mistress, the Moon”, as it is one I am most proud of. I would love to hear what you think and get your opinion on it.

'A midnight monarch in a Gothic dream' - quite the memorable line, methinks. Such classic beauty, simultaneously old-new. Congrats on POTD! ~ gw
