Muse Vignettes

 
Dark velvet curtains hang heavy with hidden       
                                            wealth and fear
 
pearls in jewellery box were stolen at a closed        
                                         off sunset near

Muses Silent !  where is my pen as they          
                              wonder what went wrong       

will it be ennui or flight as Inspiration crosses    
                              heath field in broken song

childhood, teen, adulthood rolled up in apricot       mebos as Time collapses in a heap 

 Muses curl in darkness sad though summer  
                                                             seeps


                                  •

gyrating Muses line up before my vision 

            in an ecstasy of eternal Time precision 

    their Inspirations transmute ennui and flight 

Sweet Muses, I take up pen, with eager might

will it be an anvil, a pearl, a sunset or chiffon 

curtains blowing in soft breezy ease, yon  ?

                                   •

Hey Ghairo, This piece has such a rich, cinematic feel! That contrast between the sadness and ennui, and the ecstatic, gyrating precision of the creative force is brilliant. Wishing you endless inspiration! Autumn Blessings, Dear Ghairo, Daniel
