Muse

And isn't it funny, sometimes,
how someone's face can act as your muse?
Maybe you're writing something,
and just the thought of that face
flashes behind your eyes and suddenly
you feel a pulsing in your blood,
you are driven and fluid in creation.
Someone's dark brown eyes open
a window to a hidden place in the soul,
his smile is the key to a string of
inspired words, new beginnings.
Maybe you're standing at the counter
thinking you should cook something,
but what? And you think of him
and your blood begins to simmer and surge
and soon you're creating something warm,
sultry, spicy, satisfying
and reminscent of him.
I believe that love is the muse
that underlies every great creation.
I believe that everything, great writing,
great music, great cooking, great architecture
owes it existense to someone's intense love.
I believe that I owe every word I write,
every story or line that breathes with life
to you.
