Born To Muse
In the hammering rain of last night
I slept the best I have all week
I slept deeper, longer
than I have done for months
And would you guess who I should meet there
on the dream stools
at the dream bar
ordering her dream gin
sliding me a dream beer
Well, you come here often
I don’t have to ask
I’ve seen you here so many nights before
but it has been a while
(and I’ve missed you)
Back in real life; you live so freely
you’re pure inspiration to me
a scholar of your beauty
besotted by your confidence, your creativity
And when we went our separate ways
(did we ever really agree on one path anyway?)
after all those notebooks you drove me to fill
after the purest verses I fear I may ever spill
When we went our separate ways
you found yourself an artist
and now you’re all he paints
day drinking, or in the nude
the ways I still remember you
you... you were born to muse
Sitting on the dream couch
in the dream bar
your dream knees
pushing against dream me
You... you were born to muse...

Thank you Don, Kimberly, Kate and Vautaw for the comments and Branwell, Jeannot, and Hannah for the likes. I feel like I still need to fix up a few lines in this one but on the whole it says exactly what I wanted ?
