unfinished

I wrote the first faint line,
faint, without substance, pure
nonsense,/pure wisdom
of someone who knows nothing - pablo neruda, Poetry Arrived

never before have I written words for one woman,
preferring instead to say I'm 'inspired by'
those I love and have loved before.

but here is the muse who led me to poetry,
(for whom I wrote my first faint lines)
sharing again how easy it is to be happy.

so I choose to leave this work unfinished,
to live each inspired moment, a new verse,
ecstatic.

i can't put my finger on it, but there is something about this i really like.

the simple minded me would've ended with ” a new verse,”

but i think your ending is more poignant for not doing so.

anyway, i feel like i'm intruding; but that's how i roll.
