For the Dreamer

Lava thoughts stream from my internal computer. Some days she rests with no gumption; today a seething volcanic monstrosity. Muse has kicked into overdrive; she will have her feast. Over worked, I am drained like a marathon runner. Quivering and shaking; muse belches dream schemes. Too many to count the numbers; on and on she plunders. Mind can’t stop the flashing phantasmagorical imagery. Why does she deny my needs? The brutal taskmaster blows her top. Again and again I plead; she just will not cease. Dreams rise and fall; I can only save one. Oh how I long for sleep, when her rant is finally done.

And this is the brunt of the matter and the crux of it too: "Mind can’t stop the flashing phantasmagorical imagery." - insomnia your name is muse!

Great poetry my friend. I too have had many bouts with my muse. She wakes me from peaceful sleep and oft demands I compose as he dictates. She feasts-I sleep wake the next day to edit it to my own heart's renderings--let her fume I say.. A fav, as your words speak to me so clearly...
