Oh muse of mine, where did you go
It’s for you I search but cannot find
Trapped here in the blinding snow
It’s so cold here within my mind.

Your warming flame has been blown out
By the chilling winds of cruel fate
Leaving darkness, worry, doubt
Times like these make hope dissipate

I know that you are out some where there
Just waiting for me to come along
And with tender loving care
Inspire in me a joyful song


KM

Even in the darkest night, someone will be there holding a candle for you.

Der, I'm there with you... damn muse. I couldn't squeeze a rhyme out of this rock if my life depended on it.

I would warm you mind by saying you are about to be inspired to joyful singing  

Just read some of your fellow poets work which, like yours, is very good and oh, so inspiring.

Live for love. Without love, you don't live.

keith~

excellent poem though a bit sad. but that
is okay...and don't worry m'friend...that
muse of yours will return. your heart just
needs some time to heal and mend. don't
forget my offer still stands on the table,
if ever you need a friend my "door" is
always open...

take care.

DK, isn't it just dreadful when our muses play hide and seek?  Don't you wish they'd come in, take a little peek? A Haiku or Senryu, something just for fun...but no, they hide and hide, leaving us undone...

but for you I shall not fear...look just behind this golden tear...feel the love there  just inside...where nothing from you really hides...

and soon you will begin to flow...
when your Muse decides it's "green light...GO!"

i understand the worry when your muse is gone..was trapped in a serious writer's block several weeks back and i was wondering if i would be inspired to write again...to never write again, now that is an intimidating thought!

well, as some wonderful people at passions have advised, be patient, do something to occupy your mind and it will return...

have faith
