ms muse a thief

A sample of new book.

 

hush in this deep

interrupting while welcomed

burglarizing unconsciousness

subtracting golden antique minuet

where will you advance with pen today… musette

at dusk tread light as this could be the night

wakening from divided slumber…file among notes

do another soliloquy

or take your meanings down upon a pad

becoming affixed at your creativity  I take dictation

open curtains to expose the moon

so inspiration competes no blindness

not scaring off chance of each rumination

but encourage pages to breathe

indulge in comfort so you will stay

so what do you say…inspiration

where will the pen tip with me this dusk

together you and I sedate the truth

tickle anger til it squeals mercy

release wild repressions making us insane

creating worthy of us… what do you suggest

we paint while the world

knowing so small…. hibernates

speak sweet with undertone that no one mumbles with agitation

armed of broomsticks because they are fools

wedged between brick tenement

ready to shake the soul?

as outsiders numb of our code

nobody heard how we conspire

ms muse...stealing nights by wing

mellifluent

thief at my side

This shook my soul to its core. Shirlena, you wield such edgy but real words when you write. It is like this wonderful pen and you melt as one when it meets the paper. May your muse steal our eyes and minds always.

[Shirlena]

Thank you will because the biggest pay off is that someone is touched by what you write. It is the reason I love poetry myself.

[writing mojo]

you stole the poetic show and how? with these careen of the inspiration dives
as the cavern is there to be explored with the bouncing off of echoes found in thought..excellent

[Shirlena]

Thank you wm...this review steals the show :).

Seems you have a partner in crime in this verse...
does not matter when and where you write it down...
it just suffices to create upon the page...
the language and the theme give balance as I read this work...
it's feel and emotion is distinctive ---
a voice of two is recognized in the scheme of things...
since you're talking to the muse and reverting back to you...
makings for a exquisite taste for the quill...
and renders nothing out of the ordinary...

[Shirlena]

You are on the money here Glen...I do and of course it is my muse. Thank u so much for taking your time to give me a review.

I've been writing over ten years and I've worked seriously at it so I certainly hope so :). You're very kind for saying so...thank you.
