The Muse Escapes Me

By Blythe

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I dreamt a dream tonight, he begged me to let go He said he could no longer teach me what I already know I've run out of rhymes, the muse escapes me He whispered in my ear, 'There's no more left to tell' Kissed my forehead and said, 'My dear I've taught you well' I've run out of rhymes, the muse escapes me I'm through digging this hole in your chest Now my dear, it's time you rest I've run out of rhymes, the muse escapes me So he whispered on and on Soon my dear, it won't be long I've run out of rhymes, the muse escapes me I've corrupted your mind and swallowed your heart You've told my story, you've played my part I've run out of rhymes, the muse escapes me So you've served your time in hell Goodnight my dear, I bid farewell I've run out of rhymes, the muse escapes me I awoke with such a burden lifted The muse escapes me, my world has shifted Written January 15th, 2002 © on Jan 14 2002 03:59 PM PST    18 • 0 • 1
