Oh, Muse of the Night

Oh muse of the night
With your tantalizing
Swirling
Whirling
And calling the poets to rise

All called hear your voice
As you whisper through the
Lilting
Unfurling
Of rhythms and rhymes

And we dance round the moon
While the stars keep time
As eternity's love song grows dear
Oh muse of the night
Call the poets to be hearty
And raise all the poems from their tears

Oh muse of the night
Each intoxicating
Drumbeat
A heartsbeat
That reaches us deep in our souls

Spin your web of delight
'Round each syncopating
Lifespeak
A rhythm
For dreamers tonight

As we dance through the stars
'Neath the full moonlight
Ancient worlds of infinity near
Oh muse of the night
Stir the dreamers with your starlight
To count all the gold in their tears

Over and Done

How do you know when it's over and done

When over is over and over is done

When wrong can't be righted and over can't be come

When something is empty and all's come undone

No whisper, no silence can speak to my ear

No voices, no calling, no words I can hear

There's simply no way to retrieve what I fear

Is over and over is way overdone

So I'll leave without saying good-bye now, my dear

Like you left me forever long ago as I'd feared

On my heart is your imprint, all faded with tears

But I'll heal in good time, now I'm done

You reached out and grabbed me, pulling me in

With fervor and fever and love talk pretend

Only I didn't know you were fooling, my friend

Now I do, now it's over, I'm done

Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever learn well

Or just keep on believing in my own fairy tales

Of how good love would be if it isn't to fail

I don't know, I just know that I'm over and done

So read the fine print and find I'm shipping out

Off to life as before you and without a doubt

I'll be better off lonely than I was with the drought

From waiting for you, now you're over and I'm done

A Healthy Dose of Reality

Well, a healthy dose of reality

With a check list for security

And a warning against

The under-inflated claims of

Responsibility

Hello, good-bye

It was fine

Here I am

Where to go

I don't know

What's my name

I'm confused

It was fun

Way too short

Vacations

Have that way

About them

Always end

Just before

They begin

This is here

This is now

This is me

I'm allowed

Another chance

To grow and learn

One more lesson

I'd just like

Just for once

To be done

With the dumps

And be on

To the blessing

Of this lesson

Seems I can't

Get it right

Think I'm wrong

For this flight

'Cause my ticket

Isn't printed out

On paper

Always tears

Always flows

Never stop

Don't you know

That's a sign

Pay attention

To your orders

When you see

The red flag

You're supposed

To move away

Why do I always

Seem to edge

Closer

Once again

Light goes on

Past the noon

Way past dawn

Why so long

For the daylight

To hit my sight

Give it up

It's no use

Not for now

Not for use

Until then

When I really

Don't need it

Just the way

That it goes

Suck it up

And go slow

When you drive

Your bike through

Another turnpike

Deeply sigh

Don't know why

Questions empty

On the fly

Well, I'm busy

What with school

And my whatnots

Let's play

A game

Solitaire

Insanity

With great flair

Sounds like

Fun, but I'd

Rather play

Scrabble

And the rules

Seem all wrong

No other players

A bit harsh

Well, I suppose

Since it's me

Against me

That's a twosome

Idly, I,

Standing by

Wonder who

Will win tonight

Will it be me

Or maybe my

Turn to coup

A shutout

So it goes

Once again

Hanging out

With my twin

Ego to ergo

Tempus fidget

Sum come loud

Ok, that's it

I am done

With this

Stupid piece

Of drudge

Back to work

With a smile

'Cause it's

All right :-x

sigh... ;-)

~~Just Flow~~
