Apollo
It's all for you
son of Zeus and Leto
I am your muse
You woke up
a sleeping volcano
to bathe
in hot lava,
red hot passions,
happiness and misery
for your pleasure
God of poetry
through the clouds
look with a smile
for your inspiration
is in me
It's so cruel
It's so sweet
to conclude eternity
in an instant ...
And die
in a hot stream
of words
so that you
can get pleasure
Tie my eyes with a
white silk ribbon,
Take my hands
and lead me
Along bridges
and canals,
through a field
with tulips
Along the water,
above it,
up to the clouds
in a flurry of
beautiful words
Take me to
the pine trees
and rocks,
Where the horizon
is always
so dazzlingly clear,
Where peace will
meet us,
where no one will
find us,
Where golden rays
caress the bowstring
of rainbows ...
Inspiring words
Lay me gently
in the tall grass,
Weave scarlet poppies
in my hair ...
Bend over me
Heartbeat,
flutter of wings
over the crystal
reflection of
beautiful words
Blindfold me,
lift me in your arms,
Take me to this
invented paradise,
Lay me gently
among the flowers,
Stay and
don't disappear
anymore ...

Thank you so much for the comment NOT-an AverageJoe, if you can write like that without a muse, I can only imagine what you would create with one. 💖

I will ATTEMPT to respond to your amazing comment. You certainly know how to make a point. :) "greater depth, more intricacy and a wider emotional and literary palette" is wonderful feedback, I love it. You definitely made me laugh with the POETESS vanity plate idea. I am far from ready for that. lol
But I really appreciate your encouragement and vote of confidence so much. 💖

Bravissima, Kristina❣❣ Such a wonderful conglomeration of classical images strung together so beautifully...string of pearls. I love this passage,
"Where golden rays
caress the bowstring

Dear K,
This poem is epic, really. Between your write and your avatar all I see are gods and goddesses. Everyone is beautiful and talented and prolific. I like that it makes me want to aspire to this, but feel more like the pleb. There is a particular gift you have, it’s gentle and kind in your writing that makes everyone feel a part of it, I don’t know that this description makes any sense but your writes have a voice that is understandable. I’m afraid I’m useless in so far as suggesting where a comma should go, or a dash in stead. But your meaning is priceless for those of us lucky enough to read your poems.

Re: Re. Apollo
Wow, I am speechless and beyond humbled by your generous words. You have really made me so happy. You are definitely no pleb, your writing is incredible and inspiring. For once, I felt kind of good about this one; and I over use commas :) lol I am so grateful for your encouragement and thoughts, you are truly a beautiful person. There is nothing I can say that would adequately express how much your comment means to me. 💖 xoxo

Carpe vinum. Thank you so much for the comment and compliment Harry, I do love your Dionysian and other influences in your beautiful poetry. Κριστίνα - the tenth muse, that is what I was going for. ;) 💖
Re. Apollo
Beautiful!!!!....with this dedication there is no greater reward that you could have possibly bestowed upon all of your very incredibly talented and encouraging writers/friends who have become part of your D.U.P. family. Paying homage to them with this truly amazing poem is both graceful and beautiful on your part. Your poem has been an incredible experience to read with every splendid and inspirational verse. All I can say is that the elegance of your words is in itself an inspiration. Your emotions are pure and genuine, and your soul flows from your pen in poetry beautifully. Bravo!!!!
