From ashes I rise
Resurrected once more like a pheonix from ashes,
Whose flames have cauterised most of the gashes,
Left on my heart by the knock backs and bashes.
I feel ready to face women, with their lipstick and lashes.
To return to the surface and walk in the sun.
No longer to to crawl. I shall get up and run!
Once more to clubs for dancing and fun,
And to return to my quest to seek out 'The One'.
My words don't flow easy when I have no muse.
My phrases seem hollow. I pick and I choose
Which rhymes to keep and which ones to lose;
Which puns to care for and which to abuse.
But on I must go, back on to the field
Of battle from which truly none may yield.
Reminding myself that my soul, once revealed,
Is a powerful force, not easy repealed.
I shall not remain locked up in my tower,
Hiding away in the corner, to cower.
No longer staring at the mirror with glower.
I shall remain in charge of my power.

Thanks for taking the time to comment.
I know I don't always have to rhyme, but this is the first poem I have written since I have found my head again since a break up. I detail in one stanza about how difficult it is to write with no muse.
If you prefer the speech style poem, please check out my other stuff. Most of my poems don't directly rhyme and rely more on alliteration and plays on words.
