How can I...?

[Man Ray]

How can I write a poem without the inspiration of my muse?
Because I can’t rhyme when she is away, I feel so confused!

How can I laugh without the wit and the charm of my fine muse?
I feel so wretched and miserable it’s as if I’ve just been abused!

How can I write about beauty without the fine face of my muse?
Tell me how it can be done when I feel as if my heart is bruised!

How can I eat or drink when all I want is to nibble on my muse?
Oh, how I want to kiss her and hug her until my lust is consumed!

How can I be happy when all I want is to make love to my muse?
So I will take long, lonely cold showers until again I kiss my muse!

I am so missing you...

Perhaps you can find other sources of inspiration until the return of your muse. My muse is away for 3 1/2 weeks, which has me a little blue. Not so much his absence but our parting words... Anyway, I see that the absence of your muse inspired poetry. You are indeed still rhyming.

A suggestion for your poem, only an example of another way to approach it:

Without My Muse

How can I write without inspiration?
There is no rhyme when she is away.
Even laughter has me solemn
in the absence of her charm.

What is beauty without her face?
Plain verse dulls my heart,
till wine and air taste less
like her kiss.

I will not seek happiness in words
while longing for her touch.
Instead I'll shower in cold loneliness
until she warms me again.

oh muse
amuse me
abuse my
obstruse
fuse my blues
to your woos
tie my shoes
with the noose
I would use
when I lose
and just cruise
for a truce
with you, muse

 

[BlueskyBeauty]

return to me muse,
where high rise awaits.

my arousal needs tickled
by your inspiration.

nuff said!!

Thanks!!!

My muse has sent me a note, just a little letter!
So guess what? I'm feeling so very much better!
