Sometimes,
tere are moments....
Secreted in the cracks
of the woodshed
that is my head.
Occaisionally
a brave spider of thought
spins a track
across the beam
before scuttling back
 to the darkness of it's bed.
 
Sometimes,
a fine wine
lubricates the thoughts
and sends tsunamis of intoxicated sentences
swimming in a torrent of the moment
and then its calm
after the storm
for much too long.
 
Sometimes
I allow
love
to touch my fickle heart
and crack my stony mind,
and in the process of concussion
swear that love is blind
When really Im barely concious in your arms
 
Back in the woodshed
the bottle is empty
the spider is trapped
and the heart is decomposing

Love the analogy of the spider in the woodshed, Mark, that works well for the purpose of your poem,
 
the muse needs whatever keeps her lubricated, lol, but she can be as fickle as the fickle heart. Nicely transcribed, (but if filing...check a couple typos in the first stanza) Zy

Is that what I need, Mark, a spider, woodshed and a bottle of wine to get my muse going? Argh...what a combo, but if it works, I'll try it...
 
Thank you for sharing, I enjoyed it very much.

loved this, i am going through a stage of total disenchantment with my woodshed of a mind at the moment, and am finding creativity so difficult. thought this was great. ani

this is a wonderful pen Mark!  Don't have a woodshed and cannot drink wine, but a spider is welcome!
