Godless night of inspiration
Temptation of the finest
Slipping through fingers’ tremors
Embers pressing back against
Sounds rising past the surface
Nervous twisting tendons hot
Racing mental powers frantic
Romantic chords spinning wild
Waiting whispers tasting calm
Balm upon the sacrifice
What’s given the inspired
Desired, abandoned, lost
Then the light to save the hand
Brand of fire on the soul
To repeat? Another night
Right inside inspired motion
Married, breathing, the pleasure
Treasure by the tempted sound
