Muse and Poetry

I feel relegated to the league of petty admirers- every girl wants to keep a line of them as trophies in cupboard. 

I wanted to be touched by your young desire to infuse verve into my poetry; nothing more (as you see it!), nothing less(as I see it.).

But, it seems, that percolation is not possible across male-female barrier. The reality of prey, predator and hunger is too powerful to be eased by poetry. 

Perhaps what I want is too little, and seeking less from you insults you.

Everything that I said in your praise in my poetry was for poetry's sake, not you. Muse is never bigger than poetry. Poetry is not merely a moan of desirous, it is a prayer that gives birth to a Goddess. 

Birth of a poem is a long labour, birth of a goddess merely a whim to ease the labour pain. 

Time to create a new Goddess.
