Resist The Muse of Sadness|Adeola Juwon Gbalajobi|Poetry
Resist the muse of sadness,
still the pen till your heart buzzes with gladness &
beats like joyful hymns.
Resist the muse of sadness,
don’t line your verses with metaphors of sorrow & imagery of pain.
Let your pen dance with joy.
Write about the scenic morning &the sonic birds, the colourful flowers that greets each day with their beauty.
Write, write about sultry kisses & deep hugs,
about the joy of friendship & the freedom of youth,
the bliss in wine & the ecstasy of dance.
Resist the muse of sadness,
let joy pour from your heart like an eternal river.
