Chasing the Midnight Muse

First intense the passion, that lights the midnight muse then flows like spirits to be born, emotions setting loose, and gives incite to logos thought for hearing of the words, in a pre-ordained release of sound that chastens to be heard. This is what the poem has meant for many prone to write a sadness or a hurt healed by the balm of poetic light, catharsis of despair in metered metaphor and rhyme, a work complete with satisfaction settled in the mind.
