Every couple of months my muse goes on strike and refuses to let words pour easily and every couple of months I make the same plea
so if anyone has any words phrases or ideas please feel free to donate them and I will see what I can do.

Karilea you have me reaching for a dictionary and finding a suitable bribe in which to tempt my muse into action. I shall see what I can do. Thanks for the donation.

Shadows graced and warmed the midnight sky,

Don't ever give in, if you do you've lost everything you've ever had and everything you hope to gain, but if you carry on your already winning.

Without a stage.
---------------

in spareness he phrased grand soliloquies,
upon hollowed stone words echoed penance.
In the shallow intermission
he recalled his first transgression,
"I am the grand Thespian
these cattle thus listen
to my every depiction
believing all lines of my fiction,
I need not props, cast, or Theatre
for of these things I am the greater."

Rising from this nostalgic fade
cursing his present lesser shade,
to the faults and shadows at hand
a phantom audience, his to command.    
The curtain raised an internal veil of insanity,
Giving birth to the Act of Humanity.
In spareness he phrased grand soliloquies
of which only he could make sense.

"across the unfair divide
where black will never meet white
so read my token lips
as though they never exist"
