Mused

For those that are stuck...

Mused

 

If by chance my muse

Once more eludes me

 

I would lay with thee

Till morning

 

Though I could never be

More faithful

 

Than I am to poetry

 

But if my muse

Once more amused me

 

I would say a prayer

For thee

 

Remember this tho

My little dove

 

I could never ever be

More faithful

 

Than I am to poetry

 

And should my muse

Ever abuse me

 

I would forsake

The pen I once adored

 

Tho should my muse

But once betray me

 

I would linger on an

Empty page for ever more

i would do the same....lingering on that empty page...throughout my many years...the one woman who has been totally faithful to me...never walked out...it's the muse...she might disappear from time to time to gather her thoughts, get her head straight...but she returns when others don't---

beautiful Neville ... the intro...the build ...and the energy of the closing ... well done says i! well done indeed ... the strength in poetry is the poets' desire to present things honestly .. its at the core of it in my opinion .. everything else is ornamental (not in a negative way) ... comparing my own relationship with poetry and my "love" ... i think what you say is a hard truth ... no matter the commitment to another .. we can be and are easily led astray of faithfulness .. even if it never gets beyond the "thought" ... but to poetry ... a completely different matter .. if it weren't we wouldn't be in it would we?! this is one for everyone's pocket full of wisdom book ..love it!

I think to linger on an empty page for ever more, would be a fate worse than death for a poet.. May the muse be with you Neville.
