-afflatus-

to lose a muse is none but sorrow,
no fuse can chase away the fear-
words shall appear and be near tomorrow

my inspiration is my revelation,
creativity with epiphanies of light-
found insight in a flight of meditation

divinity in security and laughter in purity,
freedom to choose what i wish to say-
the yellows and blues abay obscurity

incitement and excitement in each metaphor,
syllables that cope with hope and brilliance-
resilience towards hindrance i adore

my muse stimulated, sometimes complicated-
no quill can erase what i long to express-
for God does bless what talents he has created

i shall sing lyrics to my soul for all time,
as the ring mimics my life of loss and love-
for the lithe of blithe shall be sought in my rhyme
