poetry widows


those whom the Muse has kissed know this-
she sleeps with every dreamer/then moves on
she will not stay with anyone/like opium &laudanum
she is a drug from which there is no release
Harpies and Sirens may sing @parties/Muse waits
until you are dreaming/then move sin /with impossible visions
pained Paradises/hallucinations/freeform tapestries 
so what you see and hear is borrowed from Akashic Libraries
and they always want returns!Learn this o lonely ones
she or he on Vision Quests is solo singular solitary
locked in the Cave of Contemplation until the Sistine Chapel
is painted upon the ceiling of their skull
 Odysseus may have had sagas but Penelope had suitors!
Muse always seduces-ideals of Progress,Renaissance,Enlightenment-
Democracy,Free Press,Bill of Rights,Equality,Fraternity-
a shopping list of executions.Prisons bulge with dissidents.
Amnesty International is immune -and PETA
Most of us will fall under her spell-believe every Tale she will tell
Walk in demonstrations for the Right To Walk
until the talk becomes idle chatter on the Internet
And a New Muse rules our airwaves
Bye bye Lady Ga Ga,farewell Amy Winehouse
Like Edith Piaf,it is less the songs you sing
more the life you lead that makes us follow....
