Author’s note: The muse has been with me today so enjoy an extra post. I hope you enjoy this one. It is the muse of possible love that is driving me today. If you feel like it, let me know what you think.

I want to huddle
in the various musical notes of your voice,
quiet, eyes closed,
wrapped in the volume and strength of tone.
Comforted, content I am
as you speak on about anything at all,
the lyrical words a solace, a balm
to this unsettled feeling hardening in my stomach.
The melodic sounds ease something inside
and the untuned world around me
rights itself in a quick measure
of the song you have become to me.
