Attck of the Muse

Subjugated by a Muse,

Who holds me in her grip.

Before too long, I'll blow a fuse,

Whilst biting off a lip.


I sell my soul but once a day,

By night I thus retract.

To the Dweller service pay,

Providing what I lacked.


Overridden by this thought,

From which there is no cure.

Grinding gnashers into salt,

Until my gums are raw.


At last a means to ambulate,

Abscond this mental cliff.

A Hell where hornets congregate,

Vanquished by a spliff.


The pain of living I shall numb,

By sitting on the fence.

That fabled day will finally come,

Which Proffers consequence.


Until the month of burgeon verse,

Because it feels rewarding.

I'll advocate this hate I nurse,

And bleed these words I'm hording.
