Muse Erupts

Haunting dreams awake me; I must analyze them; Awake, up and penning; Muse erupts through my hand. I’m writing so swiftly; I misspell; skip letters; To ignore, betrays And she will not hush. “It’s time that we slept!” I say, she replies back, “No! Not now; just write!” My bloodshot eyes Following ink; Skip a letter; No going back. Her lava Spews on page After page. Brutal Slaver; Muse.

Just like a muse, fickle sometimes and wants what it wants at the most inappropriate moments...i know that moment you describe, i think all poets do....good one! :)
