My Muse

As I meditate in mindless, boring task
She manifests behind the tangible mask

I try to focus to be fully competent
Her time it seems is evenesent

It's like she flys right through my ears
resiting phrasing that weakens and jeers.

Her words come tumbling, perfect cadence and rhyme
Knowing quite well they'll disappear by the next line

Vexed! I should keep paper and pens everywhere
to capture each illusion she conjures so crystal clear

The frustrations of the human brain
Fleeting thoughts I fail to reclaim

Like a fairy she flickers and fades
driving my spirit to spin the tales that she craves

Leaving me but bits and peices
Knitting my brow to knots and creases

At momentum the phrases leap through my mind
Wishing some spell could hold, trap and bind

Alas, I must submit, honor, and revere Her
For She appears by my side when I put pen to paper

I AM NOT ALONE..PHEW, I have to have it complete in my head before I can start.

How many times does one think their'll remember and not write it down, and then forget what is was:)

Brilliant work.

I know, as do all authors, the pain in the butt it is to get an idea and not be able to write it down, fleeting they are, are they not?
It was suggested to me, way back when I wrote a poem on the same subject, as I seem to write better when I drive, to carry a small tape recorder to record my thoughts for future reference...you got a really great poem out of your loss for words, LOL! Peace thru the Write, Ed & Rufuz
