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!
