Muse
My wondrous muse
My wonderful world
You seem distant this time
I scribble in vain
But you do not appear
I feel lost to you
Or perhaps you are to me?
I am pacified with dribble
Distracted by nonsense
I rush to your side
You are gone when I arrive
In this fleeting time
I grapple to find a space
Just one poetic verse
I feel it should be said
I feel it should be done
I feel until I am numb
The words escape again
As despair becomes my companion
Together we march in monotony
I can only be in one place at a time
Still I get caught up in a dream
~ Camille
“Muse” is a poem about creative absence — a poem of chasing inspiration, arriving too late, and the thin ache of feeling everything while the words keep slipping away.
Printed in vibrant red ink on earthy oatmeal-toned recycled paper, this piece holds the writer’s private weather — a reminder that even in monotony and despair, the dream still flickers, and the muse is never entirely gone.
