Poet first

how I only write for you eludes me

to the point of exploration in verse

my lady muse of silence who dubbed me poet first 

 I lost my steel before your waters edge

I have only simple poems to give 

Oh lady of this teary lake 

my silent hymns do live

may I float them across still waters 

such silver cords softly strum  

as you wake upon the coolness 

beneath the rising of the sun

am I worthy of this humble request

my lady should they forever remain 

muted locked away in this poets chest?

I think this little gem needs a title! I am poetically quenched in your muse's quest...excellent Rossen.

I think it's gorgeous, and I wonder why you keep dropping your account like this. Sometimes the most simple of poems are the best ones, loved these lines best:

Oh lady of this teary lake
my silent hymns do live

may I float them across still waters
such silver cords softly strum

as you wake upon the coolness
beneath the rising of the sun

My muse abandoned me long ago and I write in
memory of her like a lovesick fool...just can not stop
I need to be put out of my misery 50 poems ago...
silly but true...Thanx Texas you rock

heyyyyyyyyy, you used my real name! Yes, I am Texas, and you sir need to let it flow however it comes, if i have to write without my muse then so do you! lol. I don't think your muse has abandoned you, I think maybe you expect to much from her/him, muses need respite too, and what is wrong with this gorgeous poem? hm?? I think it's wonderful and enjoyed reading it, so stop being a wimp and put that pen to the paper! (cracks whip)

ps..I think maybe if writing doesn't promote some kind of growth it starts to whisper without purpose, Muses aren't human and live on a different level which has no time, he/she doesn't know they are late when we tap our feet,lolol, just kidding. or am I?
