 I am, without. Every step of this day took me past others who drew their thoughts, wishes, desires, …fires… in the sand, and I, I drank in their intoxicating wordplay, luxuriated in their images, rolled around in assonance while clutching closely effective alliteration… a gasp or two escaped at innuendo and so sleight-of-hand maneuvers for well some filled my mind with their backlighting while others splayed stark signs of disquietude and unsettled hearts. I imagined a few of them, who still enjoy the luxury of scribbling with a fountain pen across some blank white sheet, fingertips inked slightly as wayward thoughts traipse in tip-toe talk, wondering whether or not to settle onto the white, and rest awhile, in gay array of a heart, now pleased. I am, without. Oh, I know what will happen, as it does…I shall ease my eyes away from the poets and their safe harbor kiss the flame goodbye, and in the search for Morpheus, ...hear my muse begin to mutter… but I am here, now. |

Karilea...your muse is never far away!  I know what you mean about today... Hasn't there been some wonderful posts here at Passions?? Seems like every one I read today left me just speechless... but praying..."please muse...please!" Love this piece dear lady... My thoughts exactly! ~Smiles & Hugs from my muse to yours, Nancy~

Karilea...Understanding this completely...interesting how the muse appears for a bit if we grumble about the time she spends away.  |

A poem about the loss of one's muse inspires the writer's muse or vice versa? Kind of reminds me of what came first the chicken or the egg. Well written and most enjoyable! "If this grand panorama before me is what you call God...then God is not dead." |

I drank in their intoxicating wordplay, luxuriated in their images, rolled around in assonance while clutching closely effective alliteration… This is heart quivering and enchanting. Thank you very much Iyad "Hallow the body as a temple to comeliness and sanctify the heart as a sacrifice to love; love recompenses the adorers." |

I have been without for a while now, Karilea. Oh my muse has attempted her cry on several occasions, but she is silenced by the demands of this world. "No time for words now." Soon I will no longer be able to quiet her as my own tears will bring her forth to the page. Until the time she becomes inescapable, I will continue to answer the world's cries and ignore my own. Sorry...see where you took me with this wonderful write! Patricia |
