You deserve a muse that enjoy walking and exploring the past with you. Beautiful and romantic poem for your muse.
Very nice! Ruins are fascinating. She's a lucky lady.
Now the Pyramids of Giza are where I want to go next! Your Muse is definitely a good friend to you.
Such a wonderful poem Mike. I loved it!
That's beautiful!!
A lesson learned while enjoying a beautiful poem. A very visual one
How picturesque this poem is describing such a time and relationship. Great work. What a way to introduce this era as well.
Charming poem, well done! :)
This is a beautiful piece. I love how you incorporated so much mythology and architecture from different parts of the world to create a mystical feeling. Excellent job.
Fascinating!
