"I do not call you muse"
By Carlos Pintado.
Music by Pamela Marshall
I do not call you muse, you have not been
More than a fleeting shadow in doorways,
A cup of dark and intoxicating wine,
An ephemeral rose in shadows, a strange jewel.
If someone ever saw you, perhaps it wasn’t I.
A world of silence and night you follow
Speaking secretly and with reserve,
Although far away I hear you as in a dream
Like something that escapes and is lost to me.
I am the forgotten one; he who does not exist.
If anyone ever saw you, perhaps it wasn’t I.
I do not call you muse, you have not existed.
