Vampire
28-10-11
100 Themes #20 - My Inspiration

I find inspiration
in the darkest places;
those corners of my mind
where I am afraid to travel.

My muse is a vampire - it
cannot work in sunlight and happiness;
it feeds on emotional-wreckage
and sucks inspiration from my turmoil.

When depression darkens the day around me,
my muse rejoices and coughs up
a plethora of poetry.

When my heart is numb and cold
my muse sits
and tells stories by firelight;
finding its warmth in my frozen frame.

The times that I am desperately alone,
my muse cackles and spits out work
faster than fingers can type.

My muse is a vampire - it
enjoys the dark gloom of night;
rejoicing in the pain of my mind.
Having time to write is rare - and my muse likes to amuse me.

Hmm, an interesting perspective of two figurative beings, as opposed to a physical description of a traditional vampire. :)
