Waiting For The Muse To Come

My eyes were diverted

my mind taken back

 

Her presence upon me

her breath an attack

 

There’s no sense in running

with no place to hide

 

Although rare in the daylight

her message alive

 

My pen comes out quickly

and drawn like a sword

 

Each word spoken plainly

and pointed toward

 

My life now a capsule

exploding like hail

 

The light towing blindness

the comets new tail

 

Last phrases are written

my senses return

 

I feel her leave slowly

   my pen it still burns

 

I look down at the page

   to see what I wrote

 

The handwriting foreign

familiar once spoke

 

   “Your life but a dream

   between wisps of my breath

 

   “Once spoken inside you

   beyond life and then death”
