Mysterious Muse

My muse is veiled by clouds of mystery
She steals my thoughts and dreams both night and day
Allured yet vexed with curiosity
Frustrated by the wicked game she plays

My words are music, she begins to dance
With coyness, wiggles out of inquiries
Seducing me to take another chance
To once again explore her boundaries

But she has shown the beauty of her heart
And I have felt the pureness of her words
So heavenly, just like an angel's harp
I'll solve the mystery surrounding her

I think of all the wonders I've been shown 
Such beauty lends itself to none I've known





      an original poem by Daniel Turner

John Hamilton Date: 8/23/2016 8:36:00 AM This is a wonderful sonnet, looks like you've figured out the mystery of your muse, just excellent writing! I think we all go through ups and downs with our muse, that's what make writing so interesting!A7 Login to Reply Daniel Turner Date: 8/23/2016 9:04:00 AM John, it took me 3 days to write this one sonnet. I usually write one in a couple of hours. I do appreciate your support and hopefully it will inspire me to finish some of the poems I have started. Thank you John.

Lin Lane Date: 8/23/2016 8:29:00 AM Hi Danny, Your muse is a siren, like Salome, dancing to entice your words. She's your sparring partner in the ring, trying to make each of your jabs sting. She's a flirt, fixing you with a stare saying, "C'mon Daniel. Pick up your pen and make me cry." Many of your sonnets have brought tears to the eyes of many of us. Your Muse knows the depth of your talent, so do we. Now write what inspires you, and make all of us cry. Go back and finish some of those incomplete poems. Login to Reply Daniel Turner Date: 8/23/2016 9:07:00 AM Thank you Lin. I swear I'm trying. I started to email you the other day and ask for help but I knew it would not solve the mystery. I will persevere! Thank you for your encouraging pep talk:) You know I love you:):)
