A chapter in the book Freestylin'

Deep Within

by fairydancer


my waking mind
tortured by a strange confusion
reality seeping through the cracks
sleep overwhelming my mass
must have its soporific release

my slumberous eyes
now entranced by sweet visions
of thought's fantasies
the perfect distraction
for the cognizant side of me

allow the vital essence
that lies latently
deep within
aroused by circadian suggestion
to unfurl its primordial instincts
in a nocturnal dance
a shades of grey trance
where everything is possible

with time

and influence
though subliminal
is entirely universal
maybe even divine

the answers come unknowingly
unslowingly
when the sun returns its shine

what was once a glimmer
is expounded by rhythm and rhyme
to a brilliant shimmer
within my waking mind





My Muse writing prompt entry
Writing Prompt
Write a poem, any length, about your muse. Who or what inspires you to write?


Thank you to Angelheart for being able to accompany this beautiful artwork (again! :)

Free style poem with deliberate rhymes.

This poem was inspired by a comment I received in a review for a different poem, from c_lucas:

"How to write a poem? ...A simple suggestion. Before bedtime, write the thought down. While you sleep, the creative part of you, which you call your muse, will have it ready for you when you wake up..."

Thank you Charlie :)

I also like to think that there is an "inspirational (creative) force" in the universe which we can tap into (or it can tap into us); a divine force. So although this poem is about the creative force within each of us (our subconscious,) I included a hint at the mystical in the penultimate stanza.

The lack of rhymes at the beginning of the poem with a slow build up of rhymes until the last stanza is DELIBERATE; as if the process I mention in the poem is taking place within this free style poem.

Cognizant = conscious, aware, switched-on.
Circadian = of biological processes that occur regularly at 24-hour intervals (in this case diurnally, in the day.)
Latent = potential (waiting)
Soporific and slumberous = sleepy
Unslowingly = ok, I made that one up!
Pays one point and 2 member cents.
