WELDED TO HIS MUSE . The sun sets early Telling of winters coming His mind goes blank Work consumes Leaving little left of the imagination The corpse of thought Shattered shards of possibilities A world must be chosen The real one Or the one he gets up to every day Each and every day He looks on in bewilderment As these people go about their lives They live within a bubble for the mundane He so wishes he could find a stick sharp enough to pop it Watching them explode into the surrealism of the mind This world he has grown to detested Yet it pays the bills So a world he must choose Sitting motionless Tears silent upon his cheeks The room grows dark As the sun bids farewell His mind is turmoil A world he must choose Smiling slightly While nodding to an empty room A choice with no options is never a choice A room with no windows But an exceptional view Still remains just a room This life calved from butter And placed out in the sun A poet’s road less traveled Would be his death As corporate life The rocks for his ship to wreck Timber and souls dashed to the seas Sinking forever more Like dreams carved from lead The choice was never there His mind created from the moment he was conceived Welded to his Muse He continues down that dusty track Into the great unknowing While looking at the world around With a smile so genuine You know it’s from the heart Like all poets Who see this world In a different shade of light Welded to his Muse He lets his dreams take flight |
