siren song

another muse

You sing siren songs

just like I do.

They mesmerize me.

Even knowing the danger

I still inch closer.

I can't help

feeling a little weak

noticing

the curve of your lips

the smile in your eyes

your sweet scent.

I almost forget to breathe

I am so intent

on the song you sing

and I wonder

if I could ever

be so lucky.

I've been looking at a photo of a rose all week, didn't realize its influence had found its way here

and i wonder if i could ever be this lucky.. wow , Emily this is a very good write.
it seems as if someone is playing with fire.. i like the title and the way it flows
seems as if it was effortless for you to pen this , as if it just flowed out of you .. these are my favorite lines:

Sweet and innocent poetry.... the happiness lies in the small moments in between... small nuances... the curve of your lips

the smile in your eyes-----this I loved. so the muse is female - I understood? wonderful small poem.

this piece has it's own permeating aura..I can feel the harmony and I can envision its intoxicating union. So, nicely done, Emily. Your muse has served you well in this instance, I'd say. [=
