Did you know I don’t believe I have a muse? Maybe it’s a ruse I fool myself with Now and then. Of course, I hope I’ll be forgiv’n. That’s like saying I’m an atheist when Not so. The truth is, I just write the Voices in my head. Tonight They won’t be Silent. I cannot go to bed. Instead My ears hear Words on whispers’ wind, Haunting stories, Loveless sin, Betrayal of family, friend. I will stay awake; Bake a cake. Or Hunt for nightcrawlers Under rocks And rotted wood. Then I will fish the gutters For carp(e) (diem) and my own words To silence the screams. |

iliana, I think those "voices" are heard in every writers head. Sometimes we listen, and write the words and then sometimes we don't. But, when we do, it seems the voices quiet down some. Don't they? Hugs, lady Ethel |

I agree, that voice rambling within is in fact your muse...mine has Old Timers disease. |

then the voices in your head have been quite a source of inspiration for all of us. I enjoy your poetry very much. Keep 'em coming.  |

iliana, A few noisy nights i suspect; glad you got out your pen. Thoughts of Grandpa came through with your last few lines. Outstanding meandering of thoughts. Truly enjoyed. Sadie |

Loved this. I once wrote fiction and perhaps will again some day. There were always character's voices in my head. Now it's words of poetry. After years of their absence, I welcome them with joy. Smiles -- Susan The whole of the Universe resides within each individual heart. |

it's just past five AM and I haven't slept yet... trust me, I know this one! Tonight for me, though, I had about three of the voices, and they mixed themselves up enough that nothing came out. Though I probably could have effectively written a poem about sunsets, pb&j, my father, migraines, and the number 29! Oh well, lol Always, Alyssa Poems are made by fools like me, |

My gosh! Your noisy night certainly resulted in a fascinating write! I know whereof you speak! I have had a few of them myself in the course of my lifetime! EA |
