It slumbers... drifting into the land of dreams, pauses, listening to the echoes of past remembrance, waving its quick farewell for it has other memories to visit in its journey of quiet impressions...
It piques curiosity... chasing its rainbows while capturing the faint remnants of thunder, a tiny shiver of anticipation ripples through its soul, to seek its inspiration...
It tiptoes gracefully... dancing between shadows amid despair, yet cavorting with laughter in poetic minuet of light and dark, a rhythm unique in unpatterned syncopation...
Ah it awakens... stretching its nimble mind as it retrieves the rested quill of discovery, the rush of renewal in poetic baptism, flowing rivulets of random verse...
i adore the idea of the muse.
but ask me frequently what i think of the muse and i will tell you soemthing different.
right now i am more than convinced that mine has run off to norway or somewhere far away...
i like the beauty and gentleness you apply to the muse.
making it something everyone should want to chase and seduce.
good work =)
One's muse seems to be a very private thing... each differing with the writer, and it is clear that even the writer has those days in which the muse is an angel or a bastard, refusing to deliver any inspiration or reflection on things for writing. It's a love/hate thing, and here, I want you to know that I LOVE this poem, for it is so loving and soft in deliering it message. Thank you, my talented friend of Bayou Land. - Bill
So good to find a moment to read you again Myrna. I love the style and feel of this poem. Your muse has a delicate touch...mine has been nudging lately, ever so slightly and that's a welcomed sign.
Contraband Marriage, traveling along the hemline of loving after incarceration, is a love story written in lyric and free form, set in reality with a different ever after.
