Waning Lyrical
written by: Aaron Marchant
The muse and I are lovers, we meet on the blank page
together we conspire, our desire to assuage
We complete each others sentences, two minds in perfect sync
and each collaboration is a love affair in ink
The muse and I have quarreled, she’s not speaking anymore
her silence manifest in crumpled pages on the floor
It seems, I am too needy, too demanding of her time
yet without her contribution there’s no reason to my rhyme
The muse and I have parted, no more to reconcile
her pretty words false-hearted, her synthetic tears facile
She promised me eternity, dictating as I writ
now, another scribe must serve as her creative conduit
