You Turned the Lights Back On (For Carol)

there are these
nine muses
who 
are good 
friends with
Apollo.

there use to
be ten
but
one of them
lives 
with me
now.

I
worry often
about
losin' her
back to the Gods
and
never seein'
her again.

so
now I want
to dip
her
in ambrosia
to make
her
immortal
just like
Thetis
did for
Achilles.

but 
there's always
gonna'
be a weak
spot
where love
and
life
can just
pack-up
and
leave.

but
for now
she's my muse
and
I love her.

her
name is
Carol.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
