Night Muse

Can you see the light in the dark,

Follow it with the lead in your heart.

Let it guide you into your falling,

Slip into the destiny calling.

 

Gather your courage in the starlight,

It'll take all you have to make it this night,

Turn away from what you think you know,

Allow yourself to open up and grow.

 

The words she has may not belong to you,

But they can still burn just as true,

So listen well, and listen wise,

And ignore the garish sun's lies.

 

The moon will lead you to peace,

And the conflict will cease.

So follow your muse, into the deep,

And no more will your soul weep.

"Can you see the light in the dark,
Follow it with the lead in your heart.
Let it guide you into your falling,
Slip into the destiny calling."

in my mind, i thought this was about women of color. i even read "slip into destiny calling", as a reference to making love. with that said, i loved the first stanza.

I have to admit, I don't think this poem is a guy thing. I think its talking about the author's desire that her love would break what is the normal relationships (of the Sun), and follow his heart's lead into bliss, found only in dreams encouraged by the author's desires (the moon will lead you).
But let me give you a man's slant; Since a muse is either a wood's spirit that sings softly, or a meditated thought ruminated on at length, or someone who walks about with their 'snout' stuck up in the air lost in thought to the oblivion of everything else. I go with the nose thing every time. I have a weakness for humorous imagery. From there I can correctly interpret the poem. Ahhh, now I see what you mean; Nice poem!

Lovely poem, the title fit it well. I liked the words you chose, they added beautiful imagery to it.
