Ode to a Muse

I used to think that the sea is an enormous monster waiting to engulf me.

But as I study your photograph:
the cascading waves of your hair,
your sunkissed skin,
and your beauty so immense,
I realize that I want to stay adrift -
lost in the vast ocean of your eyes.

ABOUT US

The wedding ring he gave you as he proposed under the starry April sky.

The last lipstick she had used, before she died, that you never threw away.

The old class picture you found hidden in your cabinet, bringing so many memories.

These things and their stories - it is what the "Poetry of Things" is all about. How these seemingly trivial objects, for some, might be the most precious possessions we have because of the history that it holds.

Symbols of our lives, Mementos of our existence. True treasures that are priceless.
