WITH YOU AS MY MUSE

I cannot hope to improve upon

The great love poems,

Romantic tales

Of poets or eras past.

I can but write my own

With you as my Muse,

Source and sorceress,

Maker of the magic

Within my heart,

Swirling words of love

And hope and expectation,

Spilling out to show the

World my love.

• Donovan Baldwin
