Come Back to Me

5/27/2022 - A new muse poem after so many years without her company.

It’s been so long since we danced,

so long since we chatted.

I can’t seem to get my feelings out,

my words all seem matted.

I’ve forgotten your kiss.

I can’t remember your touch.

I only know these past years,

I’ve missed you so much.

We used to spend so much time

dancing our unique twirl.

It’s been so long now

but let’s give this a whirl.

Come back to me, my love.

I’ve longed for you so.

Lead me, direct me,

help my words grow.

Let’s set these pages aflame.

Let’s light a short fuse.

Help me write again,

my lovely, enchanting muse.

Author's Note

After all this time it seemed appropriate to reunite with my flirty muse.

The muse sometimes plays hard to get, but I know you know that already.
Glad you wrote .. I adore poetic expression

[Dilan Gray]

Yes the muse loves to play hard to get! Thank you for your kind words.

[Sami Khalil]

Glad you are working on the relationship and want to make it more serious.
Very nice poem.

[Dave Brown]

If that doesn't result in a return you might want to widen your search

[Chris Shaw]

What a joy it is when the muse returns. Life can feel empty without her. Pleased to hear yours has come back to you. A relatable poem to fellow poets. I enjoyed the read and was pleased to stop by.

Life is very empty without her. Thank you for such a kind review.

That was really nice and something I think I am familiar with at least the longing and the missing parts. I'm not so much of a dancer. : )

[Dilan Gray]

I have a very fickle relationship with my muse, as I’m sure most anyone who tries to write does. And everyone can dance a little. :) Thank you for the review.

This poem was so good to read for the words, the flow and the rhyme. All so beautifully and effortless in execution.

Oh how we long to dance our unique twirl and want to always keep whirling with our muse. For a poet, there is no greater pull, no greater desire than having that special dance with the muse.

You brought into this poem, all the enchantment a poet feels towards their muse. May yours be a very long and happy dance with words.

[Dilan Gray]

Thank you so much for your kind review! I wish you the same long happy dance!

[DIVYA]

You're most welcome.

I love this poem and it shares in a different and enjoyable way how we all tend to lose our muse at times. Mine has been gone for about a month and is just now revisiting....on occasion. I'm feeling he wants to stay awhile. We will see. Thank you for this lovely poem. I haven't seen you in a while and could be that I haven't subscribed to you so, I plan on fixing that. Temp

[Dilan Gray]

Thank you so much!

Our muse can be fickle. I go periods without writing anything, and I have learned not to force matters. If I try writing when I don't feel inspired, the results are not good. So now I stay patient, knowing that the muse will return in good time. Yes, I can relate to your words here!

[Dilan Gray]

Thank you so much, I’m so glad you could relate. The muse is extremely fickle likes to have things her own way.

[Gee]

I read into this writers block after the last two lines but perhaps this not so.
An easy to read free flowing piece with tight rhyming, I like this

[Dilan Gray]

Thank you so much for the kind review.

This is filled with a sort of longing for one, a friend? an Ex? or is it simply a hobby that you gave human attributes to? Even with the loss of connection, there is still the longing to re-connect, and reignite the flame that was once there. It is a heartwarming and touching read for sure!

[Dilan Gray]

As you said, I gave human attributes to the idea of a muse. I have two other poems with the same theme and since I'm trying to start writing again after a long break, I thought she deserved a new poem. Thank you for your kind words and understanding.

[Aura]

It was my pleasure to read. That makes sense, to guve han attributes to the muse, like personification, but to an idea and not an object. Im glad you are starting back into writing and hopefully ill be reading more of your amazing work!

[Dilan Gray]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate you!
