Red Goddess

you were the muse
that would change the world

making the song
skip beats
to a tune melancholic
and bold

feet dancing
toe to heel
with a rhythm lost
sad
deep
slow

you were the muse
red
red as the goddess you were
bleeding onto the page
every hue of you

tinting the world
with your color
painting images only few could see
your kin

the others
baffled by your madness
swirling
thoughts
fears

but yet

you were the muse
that would change the world




Happy Birthday Sylvia...
