Musa del Corazón (a poem written in english... mostly)

[IvanXLIV]

Hello people,

It would seem my usual patterns of thoughts are holding true; I make new friends, I draw new inspiration from them... this poem is dedicated to my newest lady friend . Her it goes:

Musa del Corazón

 
At the insistence of mutual friends we met,
Amused and touched by their concern, playing along
For the sake of it, yet curious enough to let
Ourselves open to each other, and before long
 
     I was intrigued, soon discovering how unique
     You are, gifted artisan bold and colorful,
     Storyteller well-versed in legends of antique
     Mythology, fair maiden wise and beautiful…
 
Exotic traveler from sunny shores yonder
You carry the warmth and heady breeze of the sea;
Siren of myriad attires… I do wonder
What other, hidden talents you’d reveal to me.
 
     I am not immune to your charms, and truth be told,
     Our friendship is precious to me, señorita;
     At the risk of being too forward and much too bold…
     You have troubled my heart, mi guapa amiga.

Ivan
