I really don’t know what to write
Though pen it waits to speak
So silent has my muse become
And nowhere when I seek

I want for inspiration
A friend to ease my plight
A keeper for my heart and ache
My sense for wrong and right

My muse has gone away a while
Thus left me longing more
The ink within my pen to write
And words I hunger for

I long for conversation
Between the voice and me
A real long chat to linger on
To find the core of me

Rick we have all felt this way at one time or another, when we know the words are there but they just have not flowed out into our pens.
Your words will flow again soon,
but then it seems to me,
they just did.  
very well done, and sending special hugs
to help you on your way and brighten your day.

Rick
Keep a pencil and paper next to your bed at night. If a line comes to you write it down.
I do alot of that. Enjoyed this one.

I don't think your muse has totally deserted you , but, I know exactly what you speak of...here's to long and heartfelt conversations between your muse and you

Oh, I know this - all to well.  But the words, they will come again, the voices will speak - for it is a love affair that cannot be denied for long -

Best to you -  Susan

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

when this happens, I surrender to the loneliness, let it be & happen...then realize it...for what it is...then, off again I go...tendering what might be, within the next moment of life....?

Love you and your poems

  Morning!

Dear Hope, I go through it often, but do find if I sit and think in quite time, it does come, thank you so much for your reply.

Dear Dixie, I know it will come, it is lovely to know you will be waiting, always good to have a friend to share things with.

Dear Ethel, wonderful to see you again, a lovely family indeed I am in, thanks for the reply.

Susan, a love affair that can not be denied for long, a wonderful way of putting it and what a wonderful love affair it has been, thank you my friend for this reply.

Dear Lee, it is alway fantastic to see you here, your words mean much as does your loving heart, thanks for the reply dear friend.


To you all my friends, again thank you so much for all the replies, each one was heart felt and very much appreciated by me, I feel the muse returning, see you all again soo, be well and take care.
