With Bated Breath

Waiting for your return Is unmitigated Torture. Don’t you know How bleak, how Bereft my days Are, how empty The endless, lonely Evenings? I beg you, Delay no longer. Be merciful, my meandering Muse. Return with inspiration and imagery that Elude me. Bring the meter And rhyme I so miss. Then I can smile, write, and be Happy once again.
