“Welcome home,” I hope your adventures are no longer alluring for you.
“Please don’t close that door,” she sprawled on the couch, hardly paying any attention to my smile.
A cold sweep almost knocked me over, and I closed the door.
“Do you want to asphyxiate me?” She leaped toward the French window to get out into the patio and collapsed on the loveseat.
Teenage tantrums don’t sway me. I buried myself into the murder mystery that was more interesting than her shenanigans.
“I know those thoughts! Don’t mess with me; consider me as your blessing. Don’t try to tie me to your strings.”
I looked up in awe, as she spouted:
I fly with butterflies
Colors define my personality
Lovebirds emulate me.
I swing on clouds
My ochre robe blends with twilight
I am ambrosial.
I dance on the waves
Water cannot drench me
My shimmer could dazzle.
My harp is captivating
Its strings are tuned by Nature
Its melodies manifold.
I sing with the stars
My songs sooth those who care for
The sick and deprived.
I can’t be shackled
I dwell in the wondrous woods
Warbling wistful tunes.
I break free
When you take me into dark alleys
I soar beyond bickering.
I regale relationships
But can’t get fettered to them
Don’t squabble with me.
Your expectations
Can’t carve the spectrum of my path
I am ethereal.
“Enough of your bluster,” I could merely mumble those words when she whooshed out of the door with the reminder that chiseled poetry book that I had planned, needs my attention.

Oh, that’s so lovely, Balroop. She may be dramatic, but she knows how to get your attention. Of course your muse speaks in poetry. Thanks so much for joining in the fun. ❤
I am glad you liked her outburst, Diana, she speaks at will and if I try to force her, she disappears for days. She detests rules and draws a blank if they are enforced. Thanks for inspiring her. 🤗
Your beautiful, lyrical muse has definitely reappeared, Balroop. ❤️ Despite the push and pull relationship I can see how you have a healthy respect for each other. “I can’t be shackled…” A great title! 🙂
Thank you Erica for understanding my relationship with my muse, she is a great bully but I love her free spirit. 😊
Love it! We can all use a little attitude every now and then… Well done, Balroop. 🙂
Oh yes Bette, I love the way she carves her own path but I have to respect her moods. Thanks!
Love it – ethereal but firm in convictions, lol 🙂 x
I love all her forms Deb, she fits well into all of them. 🙂

Ah! You know her so well Lisa. Thank you for being her loving pal, she is blowing some kisses at you.
This is such an inspiring poem, encourage one to stand up for themselves and go after what you want. ‘I sing with the stars’ I really like this line, Balroop. It sounds so beautiful 🙂
True! Mabel, you’ve delved deeper into the spirit of these haiku. Many thanks for sharing your thoughts. Love and hugs.
I love poetic talks, Balroop. This one was amazing:)
Thanks Denise.
Ah, our muses will be the writing death of us yet. Or, they will help with our writing reincarnations journal after journal, poem after poem! I happen to love your Muse’s attitude!
Attitude? Oh yes! She refuses to be tamed or directed. 🙂

Nice to hear that! 😀
