Muse of Light and Dark

Sitting, waiting

Pen in hand

What am I making

In this far away land?

/\

Dragons flaming

Monarchs crying

Sickened maiming

Blood drying

/\

Anger burns me,

Whole phrases dissipate

Where is the key?

Why has my Muse turned to Hate?

/\

I used to be happy

People still say I am.

To me, I sound tacky

I feel like a scam.

/\

My stories would be happy

Sadness wouldn't touch here.

No one would have to pay,

Faerie tale endings everywhere

/\

I was wrong

I see that now

Naivety strong

Spark lost, somehow.

/\

I forgot a lesson of life

That all must learn

Happiness isn't lack of strife

Love you must earn.

/\

My characters lacked spark

A vivacious soul

Leaves a mark

Even if that's not the goal

/\

They came to me in dreams

Begging for more

Individuality, it seems

Is what they searched for.

/\

I searched my memory

Thinking of them

I'd created them poorly

So I grabbed my pen

/\

Written into their lives now

Hand in hand with Love

Is Passion, Desire and Sorrow

The tunes to which we move.

/\

So my Muse turned to Dark

Yet still lives in happiness

And the song of a lark

Gives it something more to bless

/\

Darkness and Light

All of our souls

Bleak and Bright

Will break the mold

/\

We're all unique

With people who care

The future is less bleak

So please remember to share

/\

Share Love and Sorrow

Passion and Hate

I'll see my Muse tomorrow

I must go, I can't be late!
