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.

It's nice to see that the drought has ended. Wanna share a rain cloud or two with your friends?

That muse dies like to play God, or Mother Nature, she thinks she is all that cause she inspires us... so as for sharing you are gonna have to ask the muse yourself, LOL

[Constance L. Hartwell]

I love it! Full of inspiration and passion. I think every writer has experienced this amazing feeling.

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

Thank you for the review... anytime the muse makes you feel anything she is doing her job.

Don't be a boot kisser dear .. If you can't kiss lips then .. .. >>>>>

I haven't written anything new for a while ..

All those spurs are tripping me up ..

My mouth is dry from my meds, and I can't pay my utility bill .. so ..

It's a dry world after all ...

Fun .. Jazzy xx

An inspirational drought can cause a drowning in emotions... you need to break that dam wide open and chase away the beavers so they don't build it back up.

spurs in the moment

Now that can be painful.

I've been feeling exactly the same lately. My inspiration is as shriveled as a raisin and that muse is just laughing away with her fist full of water. Sometimes I think I need a new muse. One who isn't so stingy. Vocabulary can die from being malnourished, ya know.
I really like this and can relate. Being a poet ain't easy.

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

Thanks for the review and your thoughts.

Drenched boot.. spur of the moment? lol My Muse..went on walkabout...hasn't even texted. I think you know, what you know and we can try to know but really who knows..xo ;)

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

The muse tried to drown me after making me dehydrated, talk about taking it to the extreme.

[Debbie_Philly]

Ahhh the Muse.... such a fussy one...lol. Great piece !!

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

Very fussy and fickle but as writers we must put up with them.

[Frieda P]

You're lucky Dale, my muse punches and kicks. Nice read. ;)

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