Muse

I dream of a muse
     Hair raven or red
          Eyes vivid, alight
               With flame blue or brown

I fear something else
     Enveloping darkness
          Dreams never alive

               Fractured
                               forgotten


                     Fallen where I fall
                          Faded where I fade
                                My muse never more
                                        Than flashes of mind

                                   Drive me you spirits
                              Whether dark or light
                         To finish my dream
                    To wake with my muse.

               And never again
          Inspire in me
     The flames to compose
Such awful poetry.
