She is relentless
with claws sharp and long
into my very center she pierces
her will tempered and strong
A scent or word or taste
upon my tongue
then with titanium will
she forces my surrender
Write! She commands me
and when I’m not in the mood
or lack the strength and fortitude
she strikes with deadly accuracy
The words begin to flow
if I do not give credence
she pushes them harder
forms more demanding heed
Pouring words into my mind
filling and bombarding my soul
bending my will to hers
my Muse is loose again
