Glass Heart

My gift for the Muse's shelf

By K.B. Silver Published about a year ago β€’ 1 min read

I choose to express my love

Using a pen made of

Glass I had blown

In the fires you stoked

Deep within my heart

❀️‍πŸ”₯❀️‍πŸ”₯❀️‍πŸ”₯❀️‍πŸ”₯❀️‍πŸ”₯❀️‍πŸ”₯

The stanzas originating

There from are deep and endless

The cavern of words

A bottomless shaft

I draw gratitude up

In a bucket of crystallized

Prismatic sand to

Reflect upon your luminous visage

In the radiant waters

An artist’s flawless representation

Of humanity, of gentility, of every

Expression made in love

Each time I am moved by a

Reminder of your spark

I'm singed by your

Undimmable light

Waiting with bated breath

As if at any moment you might

Rise up from the fire's might

Calling upon your ethereal name

Whether morning noon or restless night

I am granted at least a morsel of

Your grace, taking that crumb

Fallen from the table of my betters

Crawling under the cloth

I make a meal of such a

Delicious mouthful

Using the energy to fuel my work and

Give me sweet respite
