My Muse Was Not Amused

My Muse Was Not Amused

ME:  "Muse, I cannot write those words!
           What thoughts would he think of me?"
MUSE:  "Child, you must not be absurd.
                Allow my spirit to set you free."


ME:  "But what if he doesn't understand?
           I fear to write what I dread to say."
MUSE:  "Trust and let him take your hand.
                 He'll not lead your heart astray."


ME:  "What if he's turned away, and it's too late?
           Perhaps he gave up and has found another."
MUSE:  "What ifs and perhaps?  Open your garden gate.
                 Lie in the arms of one who wants to be your lover."


ME:  "Thank you, Mother Muse, for your gentle thought."
MUSE: "Keep them folded, daughter, always in your heart."
