Love Muse

Saw you the other day,
my perfect muse.
Never hurt me with unkind words,
touched me,
or lusted for me.
Don't know if you ever thought of me beyond a simple conversation.
 
So glad to have been in your presence for a time.
You warmed my heart.
Gave me peace of mind, but for a second.
A simple gift of music and I welcomed it.

Listened to your voice and I knew you were special.
My blue sky,
my sun.
Never rainy.
No storm clouds
above my head.

No worries about, "What if..."
No drama about, "Who is that?"
No pain caused from lying.

It was all so very simple back then,
a look, a smile.

It's because of you,
my muse,
a bridge that helps me love again.
