Drops of Colors

I awoke from a dream,
with the taste, of a haunting melody,
dancing on the tip of my tongue.

Like sweet honeyed wine.

My heart sings its sweet refrain.
I can't recall its tune.
Just its taste.
And a kaleidoscope of colors, playing like a symphony.

Yearning for me to paint its words.

I stand at my easel, blank as the canvas before me.
Like a fleeting thought,
It clips its wings and escapes my parted lips.

Like drops of colors fallen from my brush.

I am left, incomplete.
Devoid of the passion that could've been.
My heart weeps its memory,
longing to be set aflame

my muse escapes me...

a beautiful thought,but it escaped me
my pen in hand,but nothing comes

damn i hate when that happens...there is inspiration, that feeling of the writing welling from within...and yet the page stays blank because the color of the words diffuses before it can reach the white space waiting for them...and it certainly is an incomplete feeling.

[RomaJ]

haha Thank you, Jacob I'm still trying to find it.:)

[Thesecuts]

We are often privvy to ethereal prompts and creative ideas when we aren't ready for some reason or other to make the best use of them and they will escape and be like the Lost Boys in Neverland. I find that they sometimes come around again giving us a second chance to give them life in this world as a song or poem and its best not to think of them as gone for good.
Your metaphorical work and imagery are beyond reproach here Roma J. Your muse is alive and well, I feel.

Thank you Anto, I truly appreciate your review. This poem was indeed from a dream I had. I really don't remember it though. Just a blend of delicious euphoria...:)
