Abandoned by Muse

My muse has left me 
I don’t blame her at all
I bleed peach poetry
And I rarely barely talk

My mood is melancholy 
For I’ve lost inspiration 
Mellow moon is calling
My muse in anticipation 

Shining like a silver star
She dances with no care
Her steps hypnotic free art
Like blue breeze blowing hair

The song she sings
So beautiful like flowers
Creates in me doily dreams
And somber purple powers

Now she took music
With her when she left
As if her very movement 
Curses me blind and deaf

I’ll write of her laugh
Of her smell and her voice 
For she is my past
My remembrance of joy

Perhaps she will come back
When my mood is not so black

Hi Karen, let me start off by saying I don’t have a muse. A famous writer said that “unless you open the faucet..no water Nothing comes out of spout” Sometimes I just can’t write. Nothing is required of me and sometimes I get overly inspired.. it’s OK if you’re not inspired, so what? This has terrific imagery that carries your emotiions ~Be your own Muse. Nothing to wait for.. we are not poetry machines, and those who think they are ..are balmy. )) Hugs Pangie xx
