My Muse
You’re the dripping ink from my pen
You’re all the ripped up journal pages
Ones that I treasure, the ones I’ve trashed
Here to soothe me when the spark enrages
You’re the words that roll off my tongue
The mixed up lines and words in my head
You’re the light to this unending darkness
The true awakening to the untapped dead
When the paper gets too soaked, and
The inked words are all bleeding together
I reach out to grasp the strings of my muse
And finally my hands clutch the invisible tether
Days that drag on, and not a word I write
As I shrink into an abyss of mixed emotions
I search and bloody scream til I find the light
And already ashamed for causing a commotion
I rip another page out, dip the pen in the ink
The words spill out, I just needed a little help
As I slip deep into the sea, the lines of poetry
I should ground myself, before I drown myself
So where is my ink? Where are my pages?
What am I doing here, why can’t I save me?
I don’t know how this is done, but this I know
For I am just a constituent of our own solidarity

OMG, thanks for such enthusiasm. I’m so glad I could write something that hits the mark for others :) And as for the rhyme, I’m such a rhyme whore. If there ever was such a thing, haha.

Expose the discrete tis so sweat and depths are rendered as clear.
Till wet from pain like the rain but not all shed from a bled tear.
Strong and weak from what we seek and what thy soul may have to fear.
Only the brave can give what you gave thanks once again my dear.

Another beautiful piece....you've been so busy! I remember these feelings, but unfortunately gave up my human muses from heartbreak. Cheers to continued success!🥂

Great write and great to have a Muse. I once asked a friend to be mine when she wanted some erotica written and she loved the idea.
8th Jun 2019 9:46pm
Oh I’m intrigued. How does one become a muse for erotica I wonder :P
Thank you for the read, the comment and the love. As well as some new burning questions!

Well I am a guy and she was a girl so let the imagination begin lol. I also have a poem titled My Muse although it is a combination a a couple of Muse's. Now to have a Gala, Salvador Dali's Muse now that would be the greatest thing to have.
Burning questions, burning desire's well there you go now let the erotica begin...
