Nameless Muse

Contributed by sensei on Tuesday, 12th April 2005 @ 03:14:37 PM in AEST
Topic: LovePoetry

It is a drifting ghost,
That lurks in realms,
Beyond sight and touch.
Look for it,
and it is gone,
Grasp for it,
and like a mist it parts.

It floats through others,
Briefly pausing,
Changing, and distorting,
Then on in restless searching.
But could this be,
The same elusive spirit,
Or just a pallid, jealous twin?

And so I search, within, without,
For traces of its touch,
But find no evidence,
In thought or deed.
This endless questing,
Drains the soul,
And leaves me void of care.

At last, bereft, I cease to look,
And silently it slips,
Into my heart to take its hold.
I turn to look,
And there it stands,
Where always has it stood,
And where I never thought to look.

And now it warms my inner soul,
This most elusive muse,
Enveloping my beating heart.
I dare not touch,
Nor speak its name,
For fear the weakness of the words,
Will send it from me, never to return.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
