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.

[Circe]

quite a riveting and palpable spontaneous piece.... it leaves you to wonder just what she did to you... beautiful work.

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

beautiful image

Oh I hate that lol ....a muse can be so fickled... great spur of the moment !

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

Thank you, I love when inspiration hits me like a bolt of lightening.

[Renée]

Me too!...Some of the best pieces flow like that !

It may seem like an eternity to wait for that spark of creativity to return. Life continues with the good, the bad, and the ugly and there are moments when they seem to overwhelm us to the point of being speechless. You have expressed this lack of ability in a way that one is easily able to relate to.
Your last line is phenomenal!
It is then we have to put the boot out to dry!!

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

Nicely said young lady, thank you.

[An owl on the moon]

You share a bit of the shadows we all can see in the mirrors of thought... the desire to allow creativity to flow when there simply is no rain... A powerful vision, my friend!

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

Now that is a great way of looking at it... thank you sir.

[KAOlmsted]

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

Thank you... yes she is fickle and yet I put up with her, LOL

[KAOlmsted]

Ha! Don't we all ;-)

[eglantine]

yep, sums up inspiration pretty much. Thanks for sharing! Love the description of her boot as "drenched"

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

Yeah I liked that too... glad you enjoys it :)

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

I kiss her drenched boot in hopes I will quit erasing lines...a good one.

They have the water to put the fire out. Beautiful word cupped.

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

And they have the fire to burn our words.
