PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

by Jeph Johnson

I need a muse to light my fire;
Feed, amuse, entice, inspire...
Create a spark to build upon.
Light the darkness before dawn.
Make my night what it was
Before I lost sight the cause
Of even needing a kind of muse
To be the one to light this fuse

or...

I need the blues to quench desire,
To be a mood intensifier.
Bring shadows back into the day;
Sing what I'd begun to play.
Make my night as dark as it
Has ever been, and never lit,
And never seen, and never true...
Just make my night forever blue.
