Pleading for Muse

Inspiration has left and I plead to Muse to return...

Evening Muse come visit me,
I long for your presence again,
tell me of the journey you've traveled,
have you brought tidings that make the heart glad,
is there joy in the words you share,

Muse speak not of love or lose,
I care for none of those things,
you share pain too heavy to bear,
no,
tell me of miracles,
tell me of wonders,

Muse weave a tapestry
seen with eyes
that pierces the veil,

Let  inspirations light saturate my soul,

Muse I walk in a land of dearth,
devoid of meaning,
continually I return to fountains
that once supplied refreshment,
now run dry.

Muse bring the rains of beauty,

Muse bring waters that quench a thirsty heart,
I would that you would share your mind with me,
Muse,
I will wait for your return,
I look to horizons light,
faithfully I will watch for you,
eagerly I listen for that familiar song,

Muse you will always have a place at my table.

[Miss Marlette]

Lol yes you certainly sound like you need it. Very realistic true sounding poetry.

[Dave W.]

I love to write and when I have nothing I can think of, I write about that, thank you for the review.

[Dessi]

I came to the table and you were not there
even though I was careful to make reservations.

[Dave W.]

I am hoping to be ble to write more, I start to worry when I cant write.

[Dessi]

@Dave W. And that was the reason. You are becoming under the weather. Your muse is always with you. David. When you are feeling beeter you will return to her. Until then, my friend.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Sometimes the muse stands us up...but if she does arrive and sits at the table...we leave the table feeling quite sated.
j.

[Dessi]

Sometimes the muse is a he and leaves us very unsated. I'm not real sure but I think I get it.

[Dave W.]

Right? Muse is my cruel mistress, some times she is open and inspiring, and some time she is cold and closed.

[Dessi]

I'm your huckleberry.
Did you watch Tombstone?
Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday says that.
Oh! Wonderful poem! I've read it many times!
Long POETRY requires long conversation, right?
You can call me Betta. Nice to meet you.
PM me if you want.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Great movie and Val should have won the oscar and wasn't even nominated.
at least "that's the ruma"

[Dessi]

I did not know Val Kilmer was not even nominated for Tombstone? That is a real shame.

[Dave W.]

That was peak for Val Kilmer, that movie is so freaking good.

[Dessi]

@Dave W. Do you think Val Kilmer went downhill after that?

[Dave W.]

I have never really thought about it

[Dessi]

oooh yes i've seen and read some pretty depressing things Dave you are much better see?

[ETERNITY]

David, what I thought of as I read this, when I'm at a loss...
Think on things that stirred your passion, good and bad.
"How dare such and such!"...or "She moved me but I dare not"...
Studying Bukowski, I'm learning It does not matter what people "think"
..What matters is how "you" feel...the artist, what is driving you.?
Go with your impulse sometimes, it's good.
Be impulsive, Dave.
IF you have regrets..they can always be smoothed over. I promise.

[Dave W.]

I like Bukowski. Sometimes I stare at the screen and just nothing, other times it flows like a stream.

[ETERNITY]

When I get a blank screen and even just for entertainment, I read Bukowski or watch YouTube s of him. He is awfully inspiring...and just plain in your face but you'll get accustomed to that. He was horribly abused.

[ETERNITY]

@Dave W. Notes of a Dirty Old Man was written all in Bukowski's words. I'm reading it now. I ordered several books on Bukowski. He's good for a laugh...or a cry.

[Fabian G. Franklin]

I'd like a muse or twos or threes if they have these and a quart of inspiration and a gallon of expectation for fuel to get my plans off the ground. Do they deliver? Do send them round. That sounds just about write.

[Dave W.]

Ditto dude, I am hoping tonight to write a bunch.

[Fabian G. Franklin]

Celery or carrots? I wrote a bunch of daisies once but time took them like dandelion seeds and scattered them like D.H. Lawrence's "Pansies" in my wake.
