My Muse (You)

Restless thoughts won’t settle down

in everything I see, you are there.

You become my inspiration

in times when my words are broken.

You are the light to my dark

truly I have found my muse.

 

Your physical presence

although not commanding

ensnares me and holds me tight.

 

I often wonder why there are times

when I can’t see what you have

to offer?

 

Blind! I am blind

to your charms.

 

Oh foolish writer, open your eyes,

open your heart

let your muse propel you

to words that tell the tale.

 

‘Love is blind’, thus is the word

but the meaning is different

for a writer and his craft.

 

Listen! Watch! Learn!

Follow the direction

of that which inspires.

 

Relax your thoughts,

let the very juice of creativity

flow from your body

and onto the paper.

 

Succumb to the will

of your muse.

This is my advice.

 

To practice what I preach

I must embrace you.

I am to love you,

your mind and your body.

 

My mind is open

and ready to receive

you.

 

My muse. My inspiration.

My love.

Passion.

 

You.
