In Agony, I Call on the Muses..

I write the words as they come to me
From where, I never know
The tempo becomes a frenzied pace
Although it starts out slow

I try so hard to avoid the rhymes
And the sing-song  type of sound
But I manage to wind up in its swing
As my words go round and round

Delighted when the words cut deep
Into,  what I wanted to say
When they flow in utter ecstasy
When I command, and they obey

What it does to me, when I write a  poem
Can only be explained
In terms of  lovers making love
Or getting high on  French champagne

At first the warm rush through my skin
The tingle tender glow
When my lover starts to fondle me
As he takes it soft and slow

Then the pace begins to change a bit
From a slow and steady thirst
Increasing in its intensity
With every rising  verse

The excitement keeps on growing
Swelling long and deep and  wide
As I write the poem, and feel  my words
While  they penetrate inside

As I ride and writhe the heated pace
Dig my nails into the flesh
Of my thoughts forced onto paper
Going faster, flail and thresh

Give my emotions and my senses
Free reign to write as they please
To take the reader to the heights above
Or to bring them  to their knees

In agony I call on the muses
To relieve all the tension inside
I shake and I quiver while writing
Exhausted but so satisifed.
