Three Faces.
If the place in which I write is accepted as real
it seems the verse and myself are two
sides of three faces.
In depth of silence I catch first breath of Muse
who since noting capitulation starts
her bid to relate.
Each phrase is food humbly partaken and felt
by the psyche that becomes translated
as mood-parsing state.
Lipless the language that fills a blank canvas,
mystic semantics her breath bequeaths
before they escape.
My poem runs freely when anticipation stays
strictly in place but where goes the me
when Muse has her way ?

A brilliant description of the writing process, Fay! Not only as it pertains to poetry, but to creating great literary works. One must surrender the busy mind to the muse, as your poem describes so well. This one becomes a favorite for sure. Thank you.
I am so pleased you found value in the poem Louis and honoured for it to be among your favs.
Good write. That muse can be mischaeivious at times.
Yes I have found that the Muse has to have a bit a mischief at times G. Thank you for mentioning it and glad you enjoyed the write.
THE MUSE REMAINS AS OUR INSPIRATION AND IS HERE TO STAY! Thanks, Fay! -Raj, New Delhi

Great write, love it
Thank you Tony - glad you enjoyed the read.
Welcome
You so beautifuly described the writing process. I always wonder what is that takes our place when we write. Some days it is so active that the words just pops up like popcorn on the oven. Others it is quite and does not say much. My muse has its moods too. Thanks for sharing Fay.
Ah I do so agree dear Malu that the Muse has moods too - writers well know how to seduce more aid by praising their Muse then taking the rough with the smooth. Your words of comment are valued and thank you for reading .
Fay, thank you, thank you, thank you!
From now on whenever I have writer's block, all I have to do is look for the three faces! And hopefully they will 🙂 on me!
Ha - - your thanks are much appreciated dear Fred and I hope the three faces work well together for you - writer's block is such a challenge.
