Voice Of The Muse Poem by Kevin Carney

Will I succumb to the dark side?
Can I really step over the edge?
All that I have known…
Throwing it aside in a whim of fancy…
Can my actions speak louder that the words I need to say?
Did the voice of the muse dissuade me in any way?
Could I see the warnings?
Did I hear the voices?
Why was I so deaf to all it said?
Never could I see the true light…
Into a path where my mind could never back away…
Could I have tried to step aside?
Maybe just to look away…
What could I say?
The hold you have over me…
I wish I understood it all be told.
Nothing really we have in common…
At least I can say it defies common sense…
Although the attraction is there…
I just don’t get it why we are still around…
It’s most unnatural…
