Inspiration...

So elusive, yet so
Tauntingly close
She winks at me
Then speeds away

A sly smile
On her treacherous
Persona, my
Anger bubbles within

The depression
Overwhelmes me
For writing
Is my life

And Inspiration
Still avoids me
Playing with me
But never staying

A toe here
An eye there
Teasing
Inviting

She peeks out
From her curtain
But sneaks away
While I am searching

I only want her
For one night
A brief affair
Would suffice

And I know
That she escapes
For this very reason
She knows all

How do I get her to stay?
I may...

Simple writing,which is what I like, though the last line 'I may' seemed a bit abrupt or forced. To sum up, I enjoyed reading this. Really brings out the elusive quality of inspiration. Everybody is original if he is true to himself and speaks from his self. But it must be from his true self and not from the self he thinks he should be. - Brenda Ueland

Thanks Brenda! I think I will remove the last line, on second thoughts. Interesting quote! Is that an original?
