my muse


you are my muse
when i am musing
i muse about you

nine goddesses, the daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne, who preside over the arts and sciences.

before my eyes you are no longer human

a woman, or a force personified as a woman, who is the source of inspiration for a creative artist.

before my eyes you are barely a woman; a force

you are the reason my mind keeps moving
you are not just my inspiration but also my motivation
my captivation
you are my true and only temptation

pull on your leggings, shift your shoulders
there is such a fixation on you
you draw my attention and i long to draw you

you dont realize, not a single pound to be dropped.
dropp.ed

in my musings, where you reside, i must force your lips to part
your cough is dry and dusty
your skin is bruised and you are scared
you are my muse.

i fear to break your bones
i press the button so lightly
the picture snaps so quietly
the moment is captured so softly

i can grasp onto a picture
my muse is a sculpture
she is marble -- strong and solid
my muse loves me

my muse is mine; all mine
she is the body of a goddess
a mind full of wit
you are my muse
you musnt be afraid
you must see what i see
you must see what you inspire


i think you are beautiful.
