The Muse Speaks
by Dale Clark → (All Poetry by Dale Clark)

My muse speaks, the pages
turn
She whispers ink stained
scorn

Suddenly she screams
I listen with my pen
working furiously

I’ve missed you
I’ve looked high & low
She whispers like a liar

She screams words that
burn
My muse sings, the pages
turn

I find the ink runs
She whispers so sweetly
I say I love you

My muse smiles slyly
as my pen quivers
Please don’t ever leave

She laughs as I try to read
the streaks of love
My heart beats hard & fast

She screams now like a lover
in delight so completely
My muse cries out in passion

She says her heart is broken
It beats bleeding words
Suddenly she’s gone

Sometimes the muse does seem a bit erratic in behavior. Thank you for this offering, Dale. Love and peace, Regis.

I love this bit...

She screams now like a lover
