Guide Me

A lost, or hiding Muse

I wish you were here to guide me
inspire me
open my eyes so I may see
colours in shimmering prisms

Where are you now?
when I need you most
hands out stretched but they cant reach you
what about the promise you made?
I need only call

Well I'm calling now
I need you
yet you never will come.
Choosing another left my life undone

Are you perhaps here?
reading all that I write
hiding in the shadows
lost inside a vortex of a lonely imagination

I cry I weep and no longer try
the embrace I crave as left this place
no melody has my violin played
broken strings
lost the chords of reason, rhyme and freedom

Your words were light
voice of angels rising
lifted me up to higher plains
rainbows drip into orchids cup
which no longer need the draining

Speak to me I pray
just one more silent time
inspire my soul
leave not this empty hole
where heart should be

And I am only dreaming
love is like a butterfly
so fragile, if you catch it you break it
inspiration leaks
bleeds
till there is nothing left

Please come back and guide me.

Wouldn't it be nice to always think twice

[An owl on the moon]

What a beautiful, bittersweet longing that reaches out over the world with its somber song... Your words are filled with a passion for being, and for truly coming alive through the life of your love. Could sense the depth of emotion, so rich and vast.

[Ladysue]

[KATHY SUE SILLS]

I felt sad emotion in this poem! Missing the muse and prayering it will return so you can feel inspired once again, but Linar this was inspration right here!

[No use.]

ah, when the muse decides to disappear or hide out for awhile or worst case, never return~ but sometimes it is in the absence, the muse is seen!

Yes it would be nice but we can't always do so. I like it it's very deep and it reaches out to the reader well.

[Coyote Poetry]

The missed muses are always near to us in our minds. The words and story was amazing. I could feel need and desire in your words. A very good ending to a outstanding poem. Thank you.

Such raw emotion. I just know she's watching you, missing you too. What a muse she surely is. Wonderful writing.

[Poetic Beauty]

This is very sad. Pleading and calling out.
