Inspiration Blooms

Flushed hands spill passion, softly wild
In languid explosion words rise
With heaves of angst and rapture piled,
Spewing phrases... untamed, unwise.
 
As rhymes burst, whirls form in my chest
From twilight laced ...hours rile again,
Down fingertips my soul’s unrest
To bathe on verses from dripped pen.
 
A language of fire scents my mood
That aches when love and rage entwine;
Till inspiration blooms, renewed             
Beneath stars, veiled words lift my spine.
 
In the marrow, blot of ink clears
Offering a page new frontiers.

I love reading them (Sonnets) if only I could write them. I will leave that to great poets such as you Nette. I enjoyed this one very much. Love, Carol

Sometimes it feels so good to be unwise, and our eyes deny compromise of love. You've got a great Muse Nette. " Languid explosion....A language of fire scents my mood" superb poetics! This poem has got me hot for Autumn.

It can almost be painful sometimes when we want to write and the inspiration just isn't there.... You have expressed the feeling of a poet's frustrations and then a relief through the process of writing. This is a really beautiful poem, Nette! Nicely done! Hugs :)
