Poem For A Day

She is muse for verse
that comes not from
inspiration but aspiration.

She is not a novel,
nor fiction neither, just
the actual camouflaged.

She hides therein
masked by her suitor,
lover, then to laureate.

She make believes his
fantasy and imagination
thus bringing herself to life.

She hides on his page
amongst a maze of words,
optically elusive.

She rhymes with his reason
and can even read about her
secret self, but, unknowingly.

She Sometimes is a simile
or a metaphor an enigma
often a figure of speech.

She is spoken of in
her own presence yet
invisible to the crowd.

She can be a proposition,
preposition postulation
but always gender friendly.

She’s a creative influence,
his stimulae for literary
composition.

She is nocturnal, a
silent presence felt
in times of solitude.

She’s ANNA a reflecting
pal'indrome every time
she looks in her mirror.

She can create illusions
mirages even marriages or
simply romantic concoctions.

She is what he wishes her to
be but unfortunately only one
day in the year, February 14th.
