My Dark Muse awaits me
almost brooding
but she gently stirs
Deep, rich, brown
she's almost ebon
and bold in character
Some would have her colder
but she's hot to the touch
and warms me inside
Some would have her lighter
but she's bright and strong
and elevates my mood
Some would have her sweeter
but she's more substantial
and quickens my heart
Some may think her bitter
but they don't realize
haven't tasted her fully
I love her every day
she encourages me, urges me
each time she fills my cup
what a lovely dark muse.

i am loving how she is your muse. Thank you for this beautiful piece
ReplyDeleteHow lovely. It's a shame that I am condemned to de-caff, which in no way could be described as a muse. But I can dream at the scent.
ReplyDeleteSomehow I was expecting 'dark' not caffinated. Fun anywho.
ReplyDeleteGreat word choices in this piece Eric, totally thinking coffee too? Thanks so much for linking with Potluck...your support is invaluable my friend xx
ReplyDeleteRobust and vibrant muse. Does seem to fit your work. - bill
ReplyDeletePretty good...except for the subject. Not a coffee fan.
ReplyDeleteNo! You can't have her! She's MINE! :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed this so much, Eric. Very clever! I don't drink coffee with caffeine, but this makes me wish I did!

ReplyDeleteThis is marvelous writing!
ReplyDeleteI'm grateful for all the kind words.
ReplyDeleteThis was easy to write for me, since I love coffee. In fact, I'm a wee bit of a coffee snob - I buy whole bean coffees, grind them fresh, make 1/2 pots, use gold filters, etc.
I love her too....one of my best friends...must take to her everyday...nice write...thanks for bringing the coffee to the potluck..bkm
ReplyDeleteWell done...not bitter at all, when taken with a grain of salt. Nice Potluck offering :)
