immutable muse


as the mourning 
                  sky w e e p s 
   and crimson clouds crackle 
        bursting forth
            blazing bristles 
     resembling roaring rage 
          within bruised blades
 of 
    lamented leaves
fed to the aching soul 
           of Mother Nature
                  my heart quivers~
wishing love could bloom
            an opalescent dream
across the grief-struck spheres
       where storms 
         crash upon selfless seas 
awaiting tender lips of tulips
                 from seraphic streaks 
sleepless amidst the 
                     trembling zephyr 
       while h o p e 
floats like 
            mists of velvety vapor...

if only I could 
      be the immutable muse
          moon-drop maiden
    amidst deepest sorrows 
                   of dahlia dusks 
          and fluorescent flares 
                        of delicate dawns ~
if only I could
        be the sanguine song in 
                 the hyacinth heart 
                     of mellifluous moonlight...
if only there were no
                pain nor angst 
perhaps then
       metaphors of misery 
                 would be forsaken 
poetry would thrive ~
        rhymes of love would 
                be the rosemary rhythm...
    cathartically cradling
            turbulent twilight
like fireflies flickering 
              neon gold 
                      against the 
   electric pulse 
                     of midnight...

Dearest Inky,This is just… wow. It hits deep. I honestly felt every word—you have this way of turning pain into something so achingly beautiful. The imagery is unreal, like I could see the crimson skies and feel that trembling hope floating through the sorrow. Lines like “moon-drop maiden” and “metaphors of misery” really stayed with me—they’re so delicate but powerful. It’s like your soul is speaking straight to the page. ...Love and Light

I believe with all my heart and soul that the day when pain and angst will be gone forever is just around the bend. At that time poetic expressions of love and peace and the pure joy of living will abound. Till then, we cope. Awesome poetry Inky

IE, if only indeed! You're describing and hoping for a better world where we could celebrate the beautiful and where pain and misery get the penalty box. It's quite something to feel and describe all this from the point of view of a muse. Thanks for this inspiring perspective. It means you, as do many, long for love and peace. It should only happen! Smiles!
