Why Can't I? |

Why can’t I write in rhyme tonight when my heart feels so much inside? Why will not this pen go into flight wanting to write, not ever to hide? Why do my eyes not see you there when the love I have flows free? Wishing only to touch with care letting you know, it is simply me. Why do my fingers quiver and shake when my hands cannot find the keys? Will it ever again be able to partake as I, beg solemnly, bowing on knees?. Will my hands again feel the vision that my eyes do see again so clear? Wishing only to write with precision of love I have, for you...you my dear. I listen to the sound of the sun’s rise, the deafening silence cannot compare. I look for the deep beauty of your eyes, sparkling emeralds beneath soft hair. Will the pen again feel the love deep as words hover like bees over a flower? Can my soul for you once remain, keep as I wish to say, to feel during this hour? Love, everlasting, boundless and wild given with passion for one dearly missed. Showing me the sparkle, when I smiled. Lingering, giving, sharing as we kissed.! Thank you muse, I needed you... |

Very good write here Magnus, Oh how we have come to depend on our muses. If you want to write so so badly and that muse takes a day off, well forget it. LOL.. this was truly nice so I know (he-she) showed up for you. floria Floria |

Did your muse guide then your pen to leave the wail with the wind? to dry the tear, and then, take flight? did your muse then help you this lone night? Well done Sir...you left a misty trail behind you... |

My muse (on most days)...is simply some part of me..inside me....that seems to light the fire and fan the embers... Though, I must say...I have had a She muse that has assisted a time or two...And to her I am truly grateful for the help... |

"Why do my eyes not see you there when the love I have flows free? Wishing only to touch with care letting you know, it is simply me." this reads like a song, I like this very much |

Muses never let you down, Magnus, but they only show up when they feel like it!  |
