Muse

Prismatic blue eyes and that
timpani chest sound doldrums
echo a symphony within me
The range of my muse resembles the Rockies
Rugged and cutting, but still
holds me in as much awe
Cheeks that bloom wild roses and a
smile that grows my happiness larger than the belief that I cannot love properly
This lights within me a passion to warm me on my darkest days
Often I deliberate:
is it you or love which remains my muse
I draw back to both
Intensity and beauty springing forth from the same well
His sunshine being the lit match to my tinder and kerosene
I am alight.
