My Muse

I have a friend that likes to confide his inner, darkest secrets.  A lot of my writing is a reflection of him...a reflection of me....enjoy...

Your eyes tell a story that only I can understand

Your heartbeat plays a rhythm that only I know how to dance to

You are my greatest inspiration

You are my hope for tomorrow and things to come

I can tell your story over and over and not one would ever sound the same

When I hold your hands I'm holding onto a lifetime of hopes, fears and regrets

You are my muse

And I can use you endlessly

You are my muse

Your story is too unique to keep secret

Your touch worries me

I want to get the story right

But you ignite feelings that I don't know how to control

I just know that a story exists

And only a muse can help bring that story together

You are my muse

So complicated and chaotic

You are my muse

So mesmerizing, so hypnotic

You amuse me with your charm

Your kiss is sweet delight

You amuse me with your words

They penetrate my mind and send me on an intellectual journey

You are my muse

Each stroke of your hand

Each thrust of our love dance

Keeps me engaged and in tune

To all that's you....

You are my muse...
