Muse On the Loose

Somewhere between yesterday and tomorrow I lost my  w a y -
Forgetting all the heartache and sorrow I found a way to  s a y ...

MY passion is within my journal-
   I starve for each new verse-
     My parchments dependency eternal-
       My pen has become my thirst-

Belonging to something brings healing inside troubled  m o m e n t s -
Longing for redemption eases my feeling of my forgotten  a t o n e m e n t.

My MUSE flows freely-
   As I softy write a stanza-
      I can write a sweet story-
         Of a passionate extravaganza-

I desire keen senses ON  midnight's twilight  i m a g i n a t i o n -
My fire keeps burning with each delight of a poet’s  a n t i c i p a t i o n.

THE meter can be quite difficult-
   Blank verse fills my void-
      Impassiveness can be principled-
         My compositions never destroyed-

I sing a symphony of lyrics that reveal my intimate  e x p r e s s i o n s -
I bring epiphany into my rhymes that appeal to my  d i g r e s s i o n s.

Alliteration in versification-
   My quill has been seduced-
      Intense devouring revelations-
         My poetry…a muse on the LOOSE.


Couplets with internal rhyme
followed by A-B-A-B rhyme

You go, GIRL, let that muse run loose. Wild and free. Your poem really captures that essence!! I hope I can come up with as unique a way of doing this challenge as you did.
