You Were There, All Along

you are such a sneaky sprite,
spiraling through my dreams at night
holding up thoughts in candle’s light
my Muse who thinks she’s always right

you whisper words into my ear
and make your intentions, oh, so clear!
that you would have me pen, I fear,
my deepest feelings that I hold so dear

you care not what others might say
you goad me on till you’ve had your way
like a friend’s Randy Dragon, you won’t go ‘way
in acquiescence, I must obey.

would I damn you? no, I shan’t
lest you leave me alone to rant
but will you sing words I may recant?
or leave me feeling lost and vacant?

ah my Muse, you whisper and implore
that I write yet one quiet verse more
and as you hold up fast the light of dream
you make it far easier than at first it seems

I fear though, I shall never be
a poet of renown
but I know that because of thee
I smile with the friends I’ve found.

spiraling through my dreams at night
holding up thoughts in candle’s light'

I loved all of this little gem -
BUT ESPECIALLY:
"you whisper words into my ear
and make your intentions, oh, so clear!
that you would have me pen, I fear,
my deepest feelings that I hold so dear

you care not what others might say
you goad me on till you’ve had your way
like a friend’s Randy Dragon, you won’t go ‘way
in acquiescence, I must obey."

I too am such a victim.


You keep me smiling

Ahhhh yes....we all have a bit of Randy in us..and I have learned from a wise friend..this is a good thing  
we all need to have that fire to inspire
very cool poem sun ...
as is your muse  

Every moment of every day
youre still with me in every way
Every poem and song...every rhyme and verse
youre still here...like a beautiful curse

Sunshine - this really caught me, and read it a couple of times. This verse I pondered over for a while, "I fear though, I shall never be a poet of renown", and thought the following words:

I have read your writings, and from this amatuer can say that they are lovely, and very well done. Keep writing.

Not renown? Surely you jest!
You write better than the rest;
We all search to find your name.
You are in our Hall of Fame!

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