I cannot sleep.
Is it my conscience?
The need to write -
What is this nonsense?
Creating sounds is a simple science-
But I need rest -
I need some silence...
The muse won't stop her long dictation,
I don't want rhymes, alliterations,
I want some space,
Some separation.
We've both outgrown our expectations,
It's time to part -
She flaps her eyelids.
She's so astonished.

She shuts the door and leaves me sighing,
The room is silent.

Six minutes pass - I'm in distress.
I cannot bear such emptiness.

Hello Andrey... I do like this offering from you... let's hope your Muse never leaves you completely.. only enough for you to get some sleep...

love RDB

Be kind at heart....for everyone you meet has their own battle to fight.........

Six minutes of poet created anxiety for the reader. Wonderful.
