breeze sweeps the desert
dust rises with its turns
shrouding the backdrop
and my skin completely
its gusts gain more power
revealing treasure trunks
buried deep in its bowels
calls me to claim its gems
to me, it does not matter
for I know it holds truth
that I have seen before
a vessel of true knowledge
I wait, for love is fervent
like a river in fine flow
my muse, she will come
to open this chest of life
a silhouette beckons me
the chest lies open now
near to it a silver cloak
with a residue of sand
the third eye can’t see
her child like face, orfeel
the kiss she blows
to my words in breeze
as her laughter echoes
in mind’s barren desert
inspiration will be born
from her treasure chest

Using the trunk as a treasure chest holding mistress muse is inspired, Leo. Shrouding is a great word. Your new blog looks sharp…I'm loving this font.
ah she can be such a fickle lady…the muse…and we all long for her…never see her but when she starts to breathe upon us with her flower scented breath and her lips unchain and let us forget our barriers….well…everything's possible…smiles…enjoyed your poem leo
Indeed she can be, Claudia. Very obstinate too. She is within us, and yet very far that we have to long for her, search for her presence at times.. And when she is near, her breath exudes exuberance and love and fervent through our own breaths.. anything & everything is possible then for sure! Glad you enjoyed the poem.
The chest/trunk holds inspiration, that mistress muse does open, Brenda. Glad you liked the poem & my blog. Its not a "new" blog though. I started here b4 going to WP; now restarted here that's all.
Ah, your muse is hard to pin down..a little sea sprite I imagine floating around with treasure chests…leaving hints and clues to find them..lovely..Jae
Oh yes, she is quite the girl, Jae. Very hard to control, but without her, inspiration doesn't arrive at all. Glad you liked it.
smiles…may she come and burst that chest in an overflow of her goodness Leo…really like the look of this place…the laughter echoing in the desert is a fine touch…
There is yearning to find what you seek. In this write many chests are exposed. I enjoyed your poem
Loved it Leo. Love your new place!
I adore this! Especially the fourth stanza! Just beautiful!
I especially like verse 4… and the ending. ~laurie kolp
perfect piece of wriitng….
There is more of a treasure within this verse than foundwithin a treasure chest.
Love it, has a lovely dreamlike quality.
The promise of undying love, beautiful.
Oh, this is beautiful!
Nicely done. What a wonderful ise of the wordle words. 🙂

I hope she does too, Brian. Glad you liked the look of the place and felt my poem good
I hope you're right about that. I've been banging on that locked trunk for a straight month now. Lovely, write.
even I Leo…Someone is Special
Wonderful description of that quest for writing inspiration we all undertake. I'd say your muse definitely helped you unearth a gem or two with this one. 🙂
my gosh you used every word and beautifully I might ad, I enjoyed every stanza
You have utilized the Wordle words well!! Good read!!
Its different for every one I guess, Nara. Thank you for liking the write..
Thanks, SiS.
I am glad that it did what it did, Traci. I love this poem too. Thank you so much. .
Thank yu, Amanda… I'm glad you liked it. 🙂
Thanks, Nanka
I was going to say that the underlined words are distracting, but apparently this piece is part of a word challenge. So never mind. : )
Oh.. would boldening the words instead be better and less distracting, Safehousepoetry?
Leo, I honestly feel that the whole point of a wordle response is to disguise the wordle words, hide them so that no-one can spot them. That said, you have made a poem with a good flow of thought.
I don't show the wordle image in the post right. So I felt highlighting the words in the Wordle would be good 🙂 I'm glad you liked the flow and the poem, Viv.
Yes, there certainly is, SeasideAuthor! Thank you and glad you liked it!
