Sacrificing the Muse

Contributed by Essentially9 on Thursday, 14th July 2005 @ 09:10:38 PM in AEST
Topic: DarkPoetry



Sacrificing the Muse

The wrists are bloody with piano wire
That's only wound tighter
Like the reasons for this senselessness
Against the not so innocent.

I'm stained by the paint of his belovéd veins
With rust covered wires that remain to restrain
An inspiration that's far more than abstract art
Screaming melodic notes from an ungifted heart.

The next note will atone for his screams,
Because this masterpiece would not be complete
Without using every octave that I desire
To subdue a life that helps inspire.

I'm a bastard child of a dying age.
Bloody fingertips cover the skin I've made my page
For the skin carved with notes of detest
To unlock and unleash my utter best.

I'm only using you for my muse to elate my genius
Which compliments my satisfaction to never be envious.
Yet, you don't impress me enough
To create the perfect song used with dilettantish blood.

Perfection has eluded this morbid piece,
And has left me hungry for more and not at ease
For it will come by severed ties binding severed hands
Only sacrificing the writer for his fans.

You know what, one of this days i will seriously ask you (Jen) if you'll like to collaborate with me. Hmm saying that only if my inspiration comes back to me.

This was really good, you and Clark are a perfect match. Your words blends well together making this in to such a brilliant poem.

Cool stuff guys.

Wow, this poem is so incredible I hardly know what to say. The piano wire, the hands, and the blood. All of them all about inspiration for poetry and music. It's being a slave to your writing to the death! Amazing, absolutely amazing.

I like this. It has an edge to it that i can relate to. ( I think about a writer being told that his or her music does not fit into the age in which he lives.) There are many levels to this poem for a reader to relate. I only named one.

plus I like the entire poem:>

a lot to give up in order to give, the intellectual power, the crave inside of all artists, waiting for more to get out, so much mind activity going on, needs to be fed, again, giving up, to give:>
