The Muse and its Morbidity

Pencil in hand, muse in head,

Thinking of that which should’ve been said.

You say your word is your bond

But how much longer will you string along?

A shroud I wear trying to grasp at the shadows

The shadows that ditch and snatch as I gasp for air.

You take unto yourself the luxuries of life

Chanting and making notes of all the hearts you break in your wake.

The life you lead will one day take a toll

As you try to tell, your stories unfold.

Distinct measures made on winning you over

Leads to sentimental trituration of those whose eyes you cover.

The cloud that masks our vision and the rain that washes our sight

Is enough to show how much your plight is blight.

You say you are strong enough to withhold

And the idea that impregnates you is one that without effort will remain untold.

You push, you pull, you bend and you break

And an Old Wife’s Tale puts your memories at stake.

You coax yourself to believe that which doesn’t exist

You induce thoughts of what should be real against what isn’t.

You long to pour out that, which you do not possess,

Because of the need to become obsessed.

Obsession with new thrills and the occasional saturnalia

Keeps you young and fresh, but u never have enough genitalia.

Don’t fight it, let it happen.

Do not strangle your unfed impulse

The one you try to create strenuously

Relax love, you’re a beautiful soul,

A thrilling peach, an exotic fruit.

You are awesome the way you are and the way you are meant to be.
