5 a.m. Muse

Inspiration has left, I begin my search......

 

Would I lament the lack

of words to pen,

 

when I look within,

 

I've lost my way,

just gray,

 

where to begin,

when does it end,

 

not happy,

not sad,

 

just a white noise of feeling,

a tinnitus ring fills the room,

 

5 a.m. and my only company

is a blank page and a cup of tea,

 

I search in love,

I search in loss,

I search in the past,

I search and search and search,

 

so many fountains visited,

their waters I find abhorrent,

 

where are the fresh springs,

where is Muse gentle caress,

where is inspirations light,

 

even these lines,

prose,

and rhymes,

 

cliche at best,

surely, I jest,

 pray to God these words be blessed,

and make sense of this scrawling mess......

Exactly where I am these days, every idea fading as quickly as it comes. Am glad you turned the feeling into an inspired piece. Well done

[Dave W.]

Sometimes its eaiser for me to write about not being able to write, than to write something truely inspired, thank you for the kind reveiw.

[...Relic...]

I've been there and still am. I relate well to this and I like the rhythm you've set up to make it easy to read.

[Dave W.]

Thank you Relic, I hope Muse visits you.

[Inkspire]

Sometimes we go looking for inspiration, and sometimes it just comes to us.
Enjoyed the poem

[Dave W.]

True, I never know when it will strike, I just worry I havent been writing like I was when I walked through depressions valley.

........................... ! just kidding - sorry for but enjoyed your plight and the resultant lines - I often experience your expressed dilemma but fortunately as I am a daytime writer, I visit those dry wells while the sun is up. -carl

Daylight would be a welcome setting to write, mine are always at night.

[John the Baptist]

This one seems to reflect either loneliness or a writing block. Either one of those can have you awake at five AM with only tea to comfort you.

[Dave W.]

Both are true, I hate writers block but I am at the mercy of inspiration.

Sorry mr Dave couldnt get hold of you your broken promises made back in 2014, like water wipes. Off letters written on sand they might hav got wiped off in memory but fate remindd you everything. My dad told me i will see my fate and left me last year

I still couldnt understand what is my fate as i am.still looking same not knowing what change has come till now .. could you tell me what was the intent..

Jessy Jacob.

[Dave W.]

Oh I hope you are okay, please be safe, have a good day Jessy

[Arti]

Yea i am fine.you too hav a good day.

[Dessi]

Good morning, darling. The light-dark pattern factors in there. I know your job requires sleeplessness for you. I'm sorry. Here's what I found: Light-dark patterns keep us in sync, ensuring that our bodies do the right thing at the right time.
So your lack of sleep leads you to many unsubstantiated feelings.
However, your malefactor creates beautiful works like this one. I love the rhyming final stanza. Have a great day! (sleeping) Sleep is good.

[Dave W.]

I am going to try to get some rest but it is hard during the day, have a great day as well.

[Dessi]

Even when we're not talking, my heart and prayers are with you always. Friend

[Arti]

So great to see you Dessi, so you sleep in day and plot the drama how yo trap dreams in night so that pur hysbands go deep sleep and you like an owl can make fun wherever you can.. how fool that husband might be snoring with light sotty white sking like your glowing a perfect match god mahavadar nabaji has made in heavennn hoe innocent hs must be misding in between l8nes the hardest spring which when moves into mouth organ oozes bloid out of his though he wants to stop but your v gr dream to suck lick just give pleasure in eyes see i am.dancing today with his deessed shaft.....

Dave W.s wife died. He works all night.
I am divorced. I sleep all night.
Dave and I are just friends.
Do you feel better, now?

[Arti]

Hey dessi, you just delete people from your life as needed. How come you are being friend to Dave. You also deleted wife of Dave? So both male female never be friends must be ludt between, that makes people pleasure, anyhow god is watching beware else you would be deleted from your life.

Nowadays no value to relationships everyone needs momey pleasure for that thry go tp any extent.. do you know i am married to jacpb if you sl** p with married ypu will never be with life anymore again..

Jessy Jacob
People are darpok.hardly be any just they think.sp becaise they know how. Yo delete people from life.

[Arti]

If everyone thinks they can do anything in this life why Rahul gandhi is not becoming Prime minister of india, why Putin couldnt get hold of Ukraine, why Isreal is under war zone, why male f***s female, why gay lesbians ?? Ithink there is much which is under control, foolish are those who think dreams myst be sexy big and small dreams are filthy like middle clasd guy who can giv his body unworthy to share life like with millionaire? Do you think you can say living people dead then dead people are alive too az like your dad must be watching you and his wife satching from safe place....

Cunningness can go to any extent like uncontrolled tongue but dont think shafts do hav nerves which are conttolled...

Jessy jacob not Arti...

[Dessi]

I haven't deleted anybody from my life. If it happened, it was by accident.

[Coyote Poetry]

I do understand Dave. When my mind is tire. I cannot write. Music can awake sometimes.
(where are the fresh springs,
where is Muse gentle caress,
where is inspirations light,)
I liked the above lines. A beautiful Spring day. I do need. Thank you my friend for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.

[Dave W.]

Thankyou Coyote, I have writen about so many topic so much that I am hungry for new things to have passion for, the fountains of love and loss I have visited so many times I bore myself with them. I hope you have a great day.

[Coyote Poetry]

Was a good poem Dave and you are welcome.
