The Muse Within Me

She told me my work didn't thrive without love.
Who would be my muse this time?

Would it be the man who paints the beautiful trees?
Or the one with plump lips who speaks so softly.

Maybe it would be the one who loved me when...
or maybe his friend who hid his jealousy.

I loved them all with all their flaws and unique beauties.
One was tall, one white, one brown
one liked to keep his hair down.
One was fat and one just sat
and then there was one who liked to run...

They made my stomach churn, always a lot to learn.
Always fell in love so deeply,
but never did I stay above the clouds for long.

At some point their words would shatter my mind
divide me up into little wretched beings!
I would try each one on like clothing.
Toss those out that didn't fit me.

Oh those temporary lovers--
no spirit!
They tried to take my mind away from me!

Those deceptive liars
with deceptive charms
turned snakes!

I hated them all!
oh they were so ordinary
so dull
so boring
so cheap!

They always took more than what they gave!
Throw them out of my heart, my mind!
Take back what was lost this time!

I needed to find my muse once again within me.

Lying Lovers


"An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips," according to a passage of scripture in the book of Proverbs. As much as I would like to write a love poem today, I am not. I rather speak on this issue of honesty. What exactly is honesty? Well nowadays people have their own version of honesty, the one they tell and the one they don't. I have learned over the years that a lover's eyes speak more than anything he or she could ever say or do.

Lovers lie when things get old in relationships. They lie about falling out of love, they lie about what happened during their days when they have been apart from their mate (even when they don't say anything), they lie about the way one another looks, the way they feel, and even when they say thank you, they lie. How can one become one with a liar?

I have learned that as much as we suppress very real emotions about how we feel about our lovers, the truth is we have to allow those feelings to manifest themselves. Once we realize the truth then we proceed to the next step in our relationships whatever that might be.

Men and women play games with hearts and minds whether on purpose or by accident and when this happens something or someone dies. So with that said, I have decades of experience with love, heartbreak, unfaithfulness, and more as you will see in my writings. Enjoy and feel free to share my poetry with your lover.
