| Post subject: | Death and The Muse |
A canvas holds beauty captured for eternity; A living face fades in time's shadow. The muse knows the hand that once painted no other Betrays her daily with younger flesh. She knows what he paints of her now Is just a memorial to her beauty's death, Each stroke of sable brush is nostalgia. She wishes she could burn and rise like a phoenix A blazing new life from cold ashes, but Beauty must fade as the mirror cracks And the muse not the Art must die. |

I agree with Iceman. Beautiful and poignant wording Philomena. Splendid prose. |

I'm in the process of writing a libretto for an opera about Lizzie Siddal and Rossetti. While I was thinking about her death (cheerful) I wrote this poem. |

Forever our Ophelia! Yes! Yes! I can see the connection to her in your poem! Very good I must say! Tragically she departed so young! |
