I cannot call my muse, "my muse",
I will not share, in fact, I refuse,
The point is I must step away, and recuse.
When it comes to my inspiration.

If there was no distance between me and...
Then I would not feel so guilty and not likely...
For the estranged feelings which are spoken out loud,
By my muse,  the last thing I feel is among the proud.

This does not work,
I am a sold out ****,
Inspiration,
muse,
Motivation,
Use meditation.

But I stray,
I am pulled, I sway,
These urges
To entertain anything other
than my muse, can bring,
empty words,
unfit prose,
rhymes that make the reader
doze.

And I stray,
I stray,
My muse forgive me I pray,
I will not be gone too long,
Away.

Astray. I stray.
