my muse of yesteryear

artwork by francis picabia

i've spent too many words

more than i should have

sensual stanzas clothed me once

now stripped of all thoughts

i just sing old lyrics

pausing mid song

to smile and lick my lips

remembering you

my muse of yesteryear

;) ............ how deliciously we spend ourselves on the blank screen and papers ....... and look at what you created instead of laying idle ... i have such a contented smile on my face in your ".... muse of yesteryear" ...just look at how you have kept it alive :)))))))))))))))))

When a poet has nothing to write about, she or he must write about not writing! :) Thank you, E. Have a great day. Lydi**
