A Letter From Dante To Me

Teddy.15


Your sweetness if not tasted
could never be understood
an angel created in centuries past
intended as a being to resist my task

like weightless leaves swept up
by the lightest of winds
you fall into my heart
your light burns resistant to
my weakened eyes

 

who beholds your light
could never turn away
to observe any other sight

I now see...

the depths of eternal worth.

                  Muse inspiring, A muse

                  refinement of a Poetess'

                  meanwhile Poesy's truth
                  lives on...!
