When My Muse Arrived, I Heard A Melodious Succession Of Sound

I abandoned my shepherdess, in bucolic rustic country squalor. My pastoral fantasy realm had turned harsh and pained like the songs of strident cicadas, the transparency of rain became opaque and hid the hawthorn brakes, and flowering vinca. My half-pruned verse was temporal, with sober hues of fleeting lyric genre.
When my Muse arrived I heard the melodious succession of equipoised sounds. " There is no one home in my world tonight, may I have your ears on cushions abyss" Countenanced in spectrums color, she listened to spondaic the feet of future tongue. She shook my crumbling fields and sifted my bucolic aubades, she held me to the skin of the globe and tempered my pedestrian. She enlightened me on the vertical invader as crossed the intersection of common measure. We sat in the Bahai’s Hanging Gardens suspended in lust and watched fall roar over the the yellowing leaves twisting down. One leaf suspended, deeply maroon, one of the leaves in the crown is old but finally weaves through, and is covered soon, in the winding of the vine holding past the summer's hold, one more season will alter and range, colors of clamor, all of the leaves on the ground are gold.

My muse?

When my muse arrives.

When my muse arrives, she takes over my life,
rewrites my diary, rearranges my day,
wrecks my timetable, annoys my wife,
and drives everyone else away.

She makes me write: my fingers beg relief,
wrings my brain to extract what she can,
takes everything else, the heartless thief;
while she's here I'm a word-driven man.

When she's gone I'm left forlorn.
Bereft, my days remain idly dull
all my writing dies still-born
waiting her return, the faithless trull.

Nailed it. No wonder I have writer's block...
 
Breathing In Every Vowel

Breathing in every vowel, you breathe the skin of youth and dust from trails of delusion, stones of cracking pasts, shrugging off the shroud of centuries. Into your lungs, you stream atoms of bits of what you wish you were, all that you are not, and you are not what you shall become, the less you know of things that cant fly, nestled downed in blackened-light unfurled in the feathers plucked from the crowing caw. Breathing out, you breathe my latest words, cells of heartache in lung of every vowel, flickering verse pulsing your inner ear, you futures road is dust breathed and scribed in ink of fictions trailed delusion
