The poet within me is lost…..

The poet within me is lost
He is groping for words
Fumbling at each doorstep
Knocking, asking for help…
Lost in a dark alley
Where what he can hear is him, only him!

My muse has left me and gone
Like the mistress who leaves her lover’s home
Ignored,neglected…her love defeated
Perhaps never to return again.

What is left is just a crumbling house
Falling apart into pieces
I stand in waiting for my muse
To help me build my castle again!
