To Be Whole

Something's missing, something's lost,
Swallowed by today.
Covered by creative frost,
My muse has slipped away.


I saw it run by late last week,
A wink was all I got.
Without it life is cruel and bleak,
A crushed forget-me-not.


I wander out to search the land
Midst dark and muted hues.
My world is colorless and bland
When I'm without my muse.


In muffled tones and strangled shout
That burst from grieving soul,
In stumbling words, that stagger out
I just seek to be whole.

Author notes

Been pretty busy lately - writing is difficult at best and impossible some of the time.  I miss it terribly when I can't just write.

    The muse has left you blue I see. Time is my problem, not so much being blocked, though this too has happened. I know the feelings well. Very well done.

    brilliant

    This is great. I have a bit of writer's block at this very moment, so good timing with this entry.

    Rhyming and beat was really nice. I really enjoyed this. Very original.
