Melodrama and Realism
A poetry website by Nicholas Nicoli
My Muse
My muse is your ghost,
showing up
when you are not around,
the Jekyll to your Hyde
My muse comes to
me
when I struggle
in bed,
My muse has a thing
for the
sombre mood
and gives meaning to
my depression,
My muse alleviates
the soul of
a soulless body,
My muse wants to educate
the illiterate wordsmith
My muse wants to listen to
the amateur
to remind her of Seferis,
My muse is my muse
that calls on me unexpectedly
