Ballad (17)
My muse is beauty- flower sweet That blossoms in my heart. I wish I could these miles defeat, And with kiss verses start.
I would from passion form my line And rhyme from her replies. An epic would from touch refine, And lyric from her eyes.
Yet, I worship muse from afar, And ask only her smile. She offers me enough - A star To guide dreams, for a while.
It is not easy, to resist My muse: As moth, I fly: Heedless of flame, in dream I've kissed, And satisfied, I die.
Her eyes draw me, and seal my fate: I cannot from muse flee. I must be plain, and dreams relate, And let her hear my plea.
I ask for all I might, but know I have no claim, nor chance. I hold but in dream: Yet, dreams show What I seek in romance.
