Poetry: My muse

Conception

My muse wraps his long-raven hair
in leather bands, wraps the hair that
feathered 'cross my ivory skin.

"Leaving so soon love," I ask as
I watch his muscles flex, seeing
the graceful dance of youth, as he

gazes on me-fully in bloom.
His finger slides down my neck, down
to the hollow between my breasts.

"Yes," he answers. "I can't lie here
all day making mad passionate
love. I have other poets, you

know." He smiles, lingers, and touches
my rounded stomach. Soon, soon, I
know, the words will come, pouring from

my fingers onto the blank page.
I watch him close the wooden door . . .
secure . . . knowing that soon I will

give breath to ideas, thoughts, and
poems-that we, muse and poet,
have fertilized the well of dreams.

    I fall within the building's shadow, graced to just be alive.

    Is it, then, my lot in life

    To be consumed so willingly?

    In my mind's eye I see him;

    Lazing on some distant shore,

    Warm breezes caressing his cinnamon skin
