Lost Muse
LOST MUSE
My poetry muse has left me,
I can't remember the week
when it crept away from me,
the outcome was looking bleak.
I tried to write a poem,
my thoughts were in a muddle,
and I was left bewildered
as words I tried to juggle.
I could write about seasons
but I've written many before,
surely there has to be a theme
that I haven't done before?
Then inspiration struck me
as my mind began to clear,
I could write a love sonnet
like famous poet Shakespeare.
The Sonnet
Love is a topic that needs to expand,
Try to imagine a world without hate.
It overcomes fear, is greater than hope,
Speaks all languages, no need to translate.
If only love could spread like a curtain
To cover the world and hate not embrace,
It would cause wars and all disputes to cease,
Thus making our world a far better place.
Love is a powerful force it is true,
It binds us together, not tear apart.
We would be safe and have nothing to fear,
As peace would be reigning in every heart.
Ring out the message across world-wide land,
Love is a topic that needs to expand.
