Sunday Scribbling at the Cafe

Delilah’s Garden

Sleep muse, sleep
My love must needs to grow

Dream muse, dream
Compel the sun to shine

Love muse, love
Inspire this rose to bloom

Wake muse, wake
Thy lust my dreams fulfilled

Stay muse, stay
Our seed has sown the day

To give credit where credit is due, the work above was not only inspired by the prompts provided, but by this quote from Christopher Morley: Sleep, dear Sleep, sweet harlot of the senses, Delilah of the spirit.

I need me a muse.

I like this poem! It says much in a few words and builds a web of perfectly chosen images!
