Invocation

. 

you slide beneath my sheets, Poet,
insinuate yourself between my intentions
offering posies of images
garlands of metaphor


you seize my pen, wrestle the Muse
champion dark verbiage
while I am mute with song


now my days and nights
are printed in lines between the sheets,
you soothe me Poet,

each stroke, each inky mark,
a declaration


and then I turn the page and you are gone

is that all it takes to get rid of a lover! just turn the page. This is juicy or is it me? Don't care. I enjoyed the read and yes, I will turn the page and you will be gone but temporarily i hope!

It's strange how words can sometimes insist on being written regardless of the original intention.
