Vessel

written by: N.E. Teeuw

If I were a guitar you’d be my strings
If I were a drum you’d be my skin
I am but a vessel, carrier of words
Inspiration needs its muse
Its stimulus, a spur
If I were a grand piano
You’d be the fingers on my keys
A flute and you’d be the air that I need
The notes on my score
A fraud, I disclose
For I am but a vessel
For my muse to compose

NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:

Poem and artwork published in book 'One Hundred Valentines' by N.E. Teeuw.
