beauty healthy happy
14 Mar
Do you ever suspect that your muse 'gets around'?
But you see, it came down like this between me and the muse:
I met a lady in the pale moonlight,
Her eyes were wild, the hue of springtime green,
A long-haired beauty neither kind nor mean
With all her skin a flawless milky white.
She kissed my brow, then the unearthly wight
Clasped mine own hand and led me off between
Two silent depths of night I had not seen,
And there I tarried hours in my delight.
I woke this morning, but I have been changed:
Her alchemy has given me such bliss
And ears that hear the world but not as tame.
I’ve never known a peaceful morn like this,
A spot in time so perfectly arranged
That if I fail I’ve no one else to blame.
What gives? Has my muse been unfaithful to me? Does she have a twin? Now don't get me wrong, because Ben is a great guy and if she really loves him more I'd step aside and let them be happy. Still… I thought my green-eyed beauty only had eyes for me…

I'm a-mused (tee-hee) at your wandering muse. She isn't being unfaithful to you, but rather, she is sharing her talent dust. I wish she would come my way and sprinkle some talent dust on me. A light dusting would be fine…I wouldn't want to shock anyone with dazzling talent. Wonderful writing. Thanks for sharing. Source(s): friends, shirley
I think I need to have a glass of whatever you have before bedtime. I am feeling quite envious that both you and Benny have a muse and you may be sharing the same one. Which one is it? Do you know?Whoever she is, she has inspired a good write and has left you in a good mood. Can't be bad.
What a beautiful write and exotic dream.Nice !!!! Youre green eyed beauty is lucky indeed.What a muse !
Yes, I am just part of her rounds, but I have noticed that she favors one over me. I seem to get the table scraps
Muses are known for their unfaithfulness, but thanks for Yesu's link! You two sound like Real Poets. And this poem fer a reason I can not name reminds of one of my old-time favorites…'What can ail thee Knight at ArmsAlone and paley loitering…' (I remember more of it, but that's a pretty big clue. Lol)thesedgehaswitheredfromthelakeandnobir… <—-had ta finish the thought. It's like straightening a crooked picture…
