Blame It On The Muse

Blame It On The Muse

A Poem by The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)
"

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.

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

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.

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