Aditus' prompts and circumstances - 31. Poetry Prompt 18 – Rubaiyat - Two poems

span>The prompt: write one four-lined Khayyám-style Rubaiyat on the theme of 'your muse'.

I.

The promise you made that night with your word,

your body, became music in my blood,

and let me form lines of songs yet unheard

to open the cage and free my black bird.

 

II.

His word does not taste of sun-warmed earth,

licked off my body in playful mirth.

Tonight it is dark and reeks of death.

With my song I strive to prove its worth.

The first is not following the rules, but stubbornly insisted to be written "wrong". :P  The second is hopefully following the given rules.
