When I Am Tired and Ready for Bed

by Joe Cramer

When I am tired, and ready for bed

I think of you my muse, lovely in view.

Such thoughts that now flitter, run through my head

While I lay sprawled, with limbs that are askew.

Drooping eyelids flutter, then open wide

Dreaming of my love though I am so tired.

My thoughts are too many, to run and hide,

My brain surges on, as if it were wired.

By the brightest day and darkest of night

I dream of my true love, my heart, my muse.

Longing to have you, always in my sight

Sharing such joy none could ever refuse.

Truest love, you are always on my mind,

Your sweetest of hearts, none could ever find.

...joe, i love how you personify Muse, into a muse, an inspiration, as you use them/it...i love it you treat her/muse/inspiration as a friend, a confidante, too cool...i've seen your muse used in a lot of your work and tho' this is the first time to say all this, i have always liked the way you've made friends with your muse, take leadership from her...lovely thing you do, always extolling in admiration[as it should be!]your muse...
