Poetry: Artistic Musings

I write beautiful music,
yet never strum a string.
I am an artist,
who marches to a different beat.

I can make a masterpiece,
yet never make a brushstroke.
I am an artist,
creating beauty with the tip of my pen.

I produce the best works I can,
letting my soul burn into the pages.
Works of art stream from my lips,
feeding your starving minds.

Some work for a broad audience,
yet I write for an audience of one.
I have always written to please her,
yet I do not know who she is.

A shimmering pedestal
is what I have placed her on.
Beyond my eternal reach,
so I throw my words to the wind.

Higher and higher they carry,
possibly falling on deaf ears.
I am an artist,
who does not know defeat.
