My Muse Poem by Kojo Owusu

My Muse



Moldering fortification
Primal walls – haunted
By chill silence
Interspersed with wild howling
Of beasts in unctuous rear
The drear winter
Harrowing winds – the creaking
Of boughs and rare chimes
Echoes from underground
Foreboding wails
Writing on the wall

Sequestered charm
Lone colonnades
With majestic despair
And fiery anger and bitterness
You sit – hagridden
Bats and owls on
The window sill
With piercing fingers
And canine teeth
Hypnotizing spells

Do I dare defy you?
Do I dare forestall your fire
Kindle the sprouting desire
From your drear abode
Let horror hold the reins
Of those that I will sing about.

Dimmed reticence
Grim is the subject
And can a lovey-dovey
Deity capture my heart?

Let me paint the
Shadows as I see them.
