Blame It On The Muse

Do you know what I am saying? I don't know what I am saying. That is what I am saying.

 

Sitting here, my lips so dry

cause my tongue is too tied up

to wet them.

I try to write my emotions

but trembling fingers

create errors

even spell check cannot fix.

Blink twice, swallow once,

inhale… freeze… then exhale.

My mind now as parched as my lips

while she dances away holding the water

in her cupped hands,

I fall to my knees as her hands part.

Walking toward me I bow just to kiss

her drenched boot.

She is mercurial but eventually she'll let you drink long and deep. I like your personification in this poem.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Well she is unpredictable, but that is half the fun.

[Rita L. Sev]

Spur of the moment works for you! That Muse can be cruel, offering a single sip, then taking the keg away... Loved the descriptions here!

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Why yes she can be, thank you for the read and respond.

[Marie]

It sounds like you got lost in the desert...

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Well I did have sand in my ears.

[Robbie~xoxo~]

Oh wow! The ever elusive muse... she's magical, isn't she?...
Gotta love every moment that she walks into your thoughts... good or bad, she will always leave you breathless... I love her!

Nicely penned! :)

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Yes be she can also be fickle and greedy, but I guess that is what makes her mysterious. Thank you for reading.

[Robbie~xoxo~]

My pleasure. :)

What a spur of the moment write, words to cry and die for! That wonderful finish is like the fading scene of a passionate yearning .. or as near as.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thanks again... you know those muses are fickle so you gotta while they are being generous

[SyberRose]

I like your spur of the moment writes...and did her boot have a spur on it too haa...being silly tonight ha

I use to feel like this in high school ha....around one boy...i could hardly breathe...but while pretending to be so calm cool and collected haa....Rose

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Rose got all hot and bothered... I wonder how you would feel if you saw him today.

[SyberRose]

the funny part was he had a twin haa

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Oh so double your pleasure, always nice.

[Coyote Poetry]

A wild ride in the poem. Woman can make us beg and want us to kiss their boots on occasion. Good vision create by the poem. Always good to read your thoughts and words.

Hello Dale, hope you're well :D

She does well by you most of the time, the occasional mood swing is worth it...get write, even more so considering it was a spur of the moment one!!

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you so much, wow it is great to hear from you, it has been a while.

[Fabian G. Franklin]

Boot licking the princess again are we? Well, whatever gets you to her knees and off yours. lol That muse has got it coming. Oh, by the way, spell check tried to correct Robert Burns the other day...it's never seen any old Scot writing evidently.

[Nautili]

Lovely write, I love this. A muse is an amazing inspiration.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

A muse is inspirational indeed, that is why we put up with her eccentricities.
