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.

To be consumed so willingly?
In my mind's eye I see him;
Lazing on some distant shore,
Warm breezes caressing his cinnamon skin
As my calls he chooses
