Book Cover & Preview Text
The Muse Forever poised on the brink of a poem, patiently waiting for the Muse to rise or fall from the skies, the poet’s eye looks out onto the fields of paradise left vacant of her presence. He looks for her in his heart and sees that she indeed is the one thing he needs and wants; a window is flung open, a door beckons, the house of the soul welcomes him home. He thought he knew all till he finds her lying on a mattress in the arms of the sun; familiar her beautiful form, strange the light she radiated – it was his. He found her in a room in the palace of dreams; he held her in his soul awaking, a queen, crowned by the glory of his deepest dreams of the Muse, the Beloved of the Sun.
