(For my muse.)

Sleepless night.
Dim light
lingers while I write.
Rain pours.  
Closed doors.
Sit here listening.

Paper blue
Me, too,
pondering your words.
You, me
words free
I hear, but cannot speak.

Tongue tied,
I hide
behind imagination.
Rainy night
shadow write
is this you or is it me?

Blue....such a cold color....but it's also the color of warm Pacific waters, of a sunny sky, of the haze over the Ozark hills....

Yep, I know this place, and night, and conversation.
Well said!

Something tugs at me, I've no doubt of that.
Something from the sea, whichever one I'm near.
When I stray too far from beachland, it calls me back

Who knows how it all comes together, the muse and the writer? It's mysterious, that's for certain, but one thing is for sure, a muse loves atmosphere (like rainy nights)!

iliana,
  How well I understand.  Nice writing, btw!
Going to pick up a big rug of a pup tomorrow.  (I'm "thinking" about borrowing daughter's preowned vehicle and lug this big watch-pup down to meet you and your muse. If so, you'll have to get out all those old poems so we can root through them!)
              luv ya,Sis

I like this.  Thoughtful.  Can feel the atmosphere, the late night, hear the rain, and the whispering of the muse.  Much enjoyed.

Hugs -- Susan

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Poets all, I can hardly believe so many sweet responses to my meandering.  You are all so kind.  Thanks so much for taking the time to read and post.
