Once again, I’m pleased to share an original poem inspired by the characters of my recently published debut novel THE MUSE UNLOCKED, available in both print and e-book formats on Amazon.com. Much like the character Cate Mullen experiences in the book, sometimes people walk into our lives when we least expect them with the power to leave a footprint on our heart that can change our life forever. What we elect to do once they arrive on the scene, can make all of the difference in embarking on a happy life and becoming all that we have the potential to be. What would you choose to do?

UNEXPECTED by chris kuhn
Alluring,
You pull me in
With a simple string
Of words that do entice.
Sensations emerge,
And I’m swept away
Caught up in a spell
You cast that leaves me
Enchanted, engaged,
And secretly soaked.
Inspiring,
You stir inside me
Dormant feelings
That until now
Could only long
To reappear and yet
It almost feels as if
They were merely
Awaiting, anticipating
Your arrival all along.
Ushering,
You take my hand
And gently guide me.
Sensing apprehension,
And fear that halts,
You soothe my qualms
Melt away hesitation,
Reminding me how
Dazzling and wondrous
It feels to be alive.
Follow Chris!
