Ode to Muse ©Dawn Minott

On By Dawn MinottIn Poetry

Beforeword: What/who is your muse, your inspiration? What do you do when muse is in a state of absentia? Well, if you’re a poet , you write a poem about it. So, here’s ode to muse!!

In the silence of your absence, my muse
My pen, once ablaze, now stands unused
Emotions wither, wander, alight
Without your presence, inspiration takes flight

Lines once profound now falter, without a trace
In your departure, creativity’s lost embrace
No stories bloom, no vivid tales unfurl
Without your spark, words twist and swirl

No melody in my heart, no words to find
No rhyme or rhythm to soothe my mind
No chords to weave through verses align
In your absence, my heART voice decline

No structure holds these scattered thoughts in place
No hooks to captivate, no bridge to chase
No heart to pour into these empty lines
Oh, my muse, your absence’s sublime

You, who sparked passion like a goddess divine
In your absence, this poet’s soul shall pine
For without you, my words, they weep and moan
Oh, muse, come back and make my heART your home
