The Muse

I know you're there. I still hear your laugh

At the bottom of that crystal lake

Among the frozen blossoms, deep into the cave.

Where you hide your dreams.

Where your cries are forever echoed

And lost in the silent shores.






I know you're there. I still feel your touch.

At the place only we knew.

Among the happy crowd and the lovely view

Where your hand held mine

Where your embrace felt right

And I lost myself all over again that night.






I know you're there. I still see your dance.

At the classic theater stage

Among the masks and the ballgowns

Where your mind was clouded with wine and music.

Where your gracefulness unfurled

And lost the will to resist the pas de deux.






I know you're there. I still smell your scent

At that small chamber of light

Among the pieces and installations

Where the fresh paint hazed your soul

Where a sniff of your perfume caught me off guard

And I lost my mind into a savage frenzy.






I know you're there. I still taste your love.

At that dark and vengeful castle

Among the birds that sang the chorus

Where your mouth failed to speak

Where your fiery language dropped into a deafening silence.

And you lost your tears when your berry-stained lips crashed into mine.

'She-She's gone.' His voice broke. His body was uncontrollably shaking as he sobbed, almost as if in pain.The note that smelled of strawberries still fresh in his hands. A single photograph fell from it. There, even just for a tiny bit, his mind was filled with memories.


'Who's gone?' Her voice was laced with anger. Her eyes were on him, ready to attack him at any moment like a lioness on the hunt.



'She's gone.' His voice was tinged with bittersweet misery. 'My Sunday Girl.'
