Weeping Muse

[Jamie~poetshare.forumotion.com]

Weep, Muse, and shed summation--
Betrayed by lesser station,
Left swimming in frustration:
Keep my heart nestled, and weep.

Flail, rage in ways most unkind,
'Til justified response find,
And then, with your path refined:
Keep my mind able, and deep.

Strike, Muse, make the mountains shake,
Stir sufficient vengeance, quake
Until Midnight's tears we slake:
Keep me rapt in your passion.

Breathe, exhale dawn triumphant,
Rise, and with calmer voice, vent,
Loose mighty visions, bent
On my growth and construction.

And forgive, Muse. Future calls,
Not Intent to echo halls
Of deaf minds--and vengeance palls:
Dispatch these bold distractions.

But first, Muse, for loss must steep,
Tears as salve for souls' scars deep,
Held soft in memory's keep:
Tomorrow we write. Now weep.

Jamie this is astounding! Wonderful and imaginitive vocabulary, depth and style to this work, I love it! Cookie in your jar for this unique and refreshing write, too many fav lines I'm afraid ... just loved it all, sincerely, Artemis xx

I don't think your Muse has left, my friend. Not with the lines you write in this poem. I feel like a broken record, but another great job! I'd like MY Muse to meet YOUR muse..maybe something would rub off!

If your muse had gone awol, Jamie, it could wander in here. I enjoyed the rolling lines and sustained complex rhyme scheme. As it's appropriate to many of us, I would have guessed your last word to be "sleep" *grins. H x

Thank you all so much, I really appreciate it.

Harklight, she had to weep first . . .and then move on--shed summation and get over it all. I wrote this when Penny left.

I only hinted at that , but she could wander in here, anytime to a very warm welcome.
and now I feel sappy ... H xx

Wow,, this is excellent Jamie... I just love your work.. Maybe you can rub some of you talent my way

I love this part
But first, Muse, for loss must steep,
Tears as salve for souls' scars deep,
Held soft in memory's keep:
Tomorrow we write. Now weep.

Thank you for sharing this with us.... You are well penned

Chiming in to say this was well written Jamie and you did use beautiful language. Projected great imagery too, your muse weeping gives us ideas about our own.
