Muse

A poem dedicated to my muse. Where have you gone my friend?

I barely remember

the pain that came before

your fake-smiled whispers

your touch of skin and bone

We woke in frozen embers

time stood and left alone

I begged for punctured blisters

all you gave was stone

your teeth were yellowed slowly

my mind has long left home

dusted eyes reflected

and I've been left to roam

Author's Note

As I sit and try and write my short stories, my muse and I struggle to find common ground. I dedicate this poem to her.

It's as if I'm truly experiencing the pain and deep emotions behind your words. You bring the read right into the moment, and your words speak to the heart. You're truly gifted at capturing the moment and expressing it both creatively and eloquently.

Thank you very much. I only hope that I can continue to write that which you enjoy. Thank you again.

Write yourself, my friend, whatever you need and helps you. That's what I've enjoyed the most, it may just be coincidence that I find it so relatable and emotionally impactful ,but keep doing your thing and wherever the pen and paper take you. I wouldn't want anything less than your originality and uniqueness.

Oh soooooo true, dear friend. My muse has been on an extended round the world trip. I only hope she returns full of stories and in a generous spirit willing to share. God only knows when that vamp will return!

[LapseOfMind]

Yeah, muse tends to be fickle for some reason lol we beg her to stay but she has wanderlust and disappears at random moments

A complete story in the short poetry. Take talent to create place, sad journey and bad ending. You did. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

You are welcome.

Thanks. If I remember correctly, I was frustrated with writing and I felt abandoned by my muse. As if she left me for another.

Good metaphives. Well, after all! they're better than metaphors.

[Dr. Wood ?]

it is odd how many fine poems are composed bemoaning the loss of a muse...I think yours has tricked you my friend

[LapseOfMind]

Yeah, she does that. Though, at times, I believe that trickery to be just another tactic to inspire

[Cassie]

[SteveB]

The muse that fickle lover. Well done. A number of strong images and a nice rhyme scheme
