My Muse

She knows my body

 

You know my skeleton

 

The woman within

 

Although these feelings wane

 

We’re still chained

 

Pickpocketed my time

 

You could have taken

 

Wristwatches and silver rings

 

But you saw value in irreplaceable things

 

You are an artist’s dream

 

Wild and miserable

 

Didn’t say much at first

 

So I bombarded you with speech  

 

Told you secrets I knew you’d forget

 

Oh Gemini I’m a wreck

 

Endless poetry about how I can’t let go

 

Maybe I’ll drop the pen and clear my head

 

Or maybe I’ll write til I drop dead

 

Either way I write for you

 

My muse
