My Muse Weeps

by Steve Michaels

She's never been this down before
laying upon ruffled bedsheets
absentmindedly twisting her hair
naked except for wrinkled panties
and one silver earring


she could be sexy but the pervasive
air of gloom wafting off her skin
destroys any opportunity for
turgidity


"No," she whispers, "no I won't, not again.
It hurts now, you must stop."

Still, after her pleas
I feel a familiar stirring


Her eyes bulge and the vein in
her temple throbs as I walk
slowly toward

my keyboard.

well said! I wish I could just comment on your work as a whole at this point -- really great stuff here...

I can definitely relate to this.
