Addressed to the Muses

To the muses...

 

Give me my pen and feed my heart with muse,

And I shall write until the night transforms

Into the morning, when the earth imbues

And quakes with spirits of the sleeping worms.

I’ll glean as gleans a reaper golden grain

Sweet dreams, which with some mystic magic swell

And set my spirit and my burdened brain

Free from the fleshy temples of their cell.

My quill would spill sweet words as if it’s dew

Or some ambrosial nectar from a fount

In Heaven’s reign. My tongue shall throb anew

With gilded glory. Evermore I’ll mount

    Into the cloudless climes of deep midníght

    Just give me paper and the will to write!

dear Gleb... Your words are gilded in
an embrace of light and love as you
ascend to the ambrosia of the
midnight sky where stars dance to
the beat of your heart. truly beautiful...

Thank you for your kind words.

You manage some decent lines such as:

1. My quill would spill sweet words as if it’s dew
or
2. Into the cloudless climes of deep midníght

Though lines 4 or 10 for instance, lower the quality of the entire piece in my humble opinion.

[Gleb Zavlanov]

Thank you for your honesty and review. Although I don't see how they lower the quality, I'll gladly look into it.

[Raymond Federle]

We never know when that muse will appear and we will suddenly become inspired, but like you - I find it is often in the middle of the night. As always, your poem is exceptional.
