Inside Looking Out

Accidental Poet



Always looking out

While within you I live

Known to you as your Muse

Words to you I fondly give

 

When you search for the right words

To convey what you want to say

Through your poetic heart

 A metaphor for you to relay

 

Because I know you so well

I know what’s in your heart

Thoughts you hold most dear

Within your deepest part

 

When you feel “Writer’s Block”

And it seems you can’t hear me

Don’t try so hard

Just relax, and there I’ll be

 

As you feed to me

I feed back to you

Your feelings deep inside

So you may express them true

 

For each other

We can’t live without

You looking in, and me

Inside looking out

    Good write AP.

  • dusk arising

    I'm never really sure who or what my muse is whereas yours seems to be so very tangible that you are able to write this fine piece.

    • Accidental Poet

      The secret: learn to open up, relax and listen to your heart. Your Muse is there speaking to you. ; )

      That Muse is always there for us, and in my case where I do the majority of my writing Calliope is hanging on the wall looking at me.

        Calliope?

        • Goldfinch60

          Calliope is the Muse who presides over eloquence and epic poetry.

            Well, there's my first lesson of the day. Thanks Andy. ; )

            I bet this flowed freely, guided by your muse.

              A wonderful poem of inner friendship, and self trust here Accidental Poet.

              To me this poem says, that to listen to oneself can be hard sometimes; especially in the face of other people's opinions, but the way in which you've written this important thought, at the end of any day, you can always rely on you!

              Bravo, and I hope that all is well!

                Thanks Auburn, Yes, as any experience poet can verify, having a relationship with your Muse seems to let the lyrical wheels turn more freely making for better flow of ideas and thoughts onto the page. Most everyone on this site is very respectful and encouraging. Thanks for the read and your compliment here. AP ; )
