He watches as I slip away
each afternoon, keeping time
with the afternoon sun
as it dips below the horizon
Such is our routine
I disappear…completely
into a world set to its own soundtrack
I dance with my muse
as she reveals the day’s secrets
He is satisfied to wait
as I wander the walls I’ve built
Witness to the images I conjure
from words that haunt my mind
Exceptional, our routine
And when I fight my way back,
when I release this energy and return
exhausted and spent,
he is there to pull me back to a safe place
We turn up the music and dance
Celebration, as is our routine

Come read of one way to split time between reality and being a poet.
