Notes About The Poem

You Still Write of Me

It does me good to see
That you still write of me
Whether love or hate it be
Or some torrid fantasy
Whether truth or lies you write
The words have seen the light
Indifferent you can’t be
When it comes to thoughts of me
I’ve become much like a muse
The lyric to your blues
I read it all with glee
For you still write of me

This is such a sweet poem.."Whether love or hate it be Or some torrid fantasy" I love these kind of contemplations - you write expressively, and always with a moving heart. Exceptional! Always, Laura

I've enjoyed being a muse, Laura. Sometimes muses come and go....but the beauty of what's been written remains. Thanks for the lovely visit.
