Subliminal Muse

She hides herself well
in my subconscious, concealed
within murky recesses that I forget are there,

but not.  Unless I were to look for them.

She is intuitive in ways undetected by
my so-called sanity, always aware of ways
that would tickle my fancy,
or yours,

but she buries herself when confusion reigns
or tears fall, and sometimes, even she
cannot tell the difference
if I am outside beneath a cloudburst.

She plays with veils,
and secrets from my spirit       truths
though I would have her whisper them
or let her speak in her sleep,
involuntarily,

both of us knowing that all truths
will out themselves someday,
especially the ones
about how we
really
feel.

She is subliminal, today, though I sense
her veils to be colorful, silky and warm,
as if waiting for someone
to step from shadows
to whisper just the right sounds

that would allow her to step
brightly, and sway
herself home to me.

I sense my muse to be sitting quietly
by the fireplace reading today..and sipping tea.
Seems she had a rather busy weekend.
What to do with a moody muse, eh?
Nice one Karilea...

You feel sometimes like your muse is murky, but your description here of how the muse relationship works is done with remarkable clarity, lady!

Karilea~  You move me with your words, and you and your muse are just as lovely as ever!
