Dead Ringer

He glances upon the silent phone,
Willing it to ring, to no avail…
So he decides again to write away his pain,
He quickly belts out four simple lines:
"Each passing breath a thought of her
A heartbeat skipping to her tune
Each call across the lines of love
Brings hopes her voice will ring again "
He can’t help but stare at the phone,
So again he sets down his lonely pen,
Knowing that soon it may be empty…
So, again, he sleeps…
Knowing that in his dreams she’ll call.
In the mid of night its deceiving ring calls
His name…frightening; yet pleasing.
He refuses the caller ID, as to prolong his agony.
He knows not who is calling…
But he knows she is calling not.
Eye’s held tightly shut he mutters, in all
His false confidence, “hello?”
The pause seems to be an eternity…
”Could it be her?” he wonder; he prays.
But alas, it is not.
And so he’ll wait with phone in hand ‘til this ringer rings again.

Hey Wiz~
I'm sorry to come late to this my dear friend. I have been away for a while, but it's always
a treasured experience visiting your pages.
Wow, your write had all sorts of things run
through my mind. I totally agree with Camila on this one~ The phone can be our ally and sometimes the cruelest hangman, so so true~
And so he’ll wait with phone in hand ‘til this ringer rings again.
Wow, I simply love the ending.
Please do excuse my other fellow poets and their lack of comments~
A thrilling read. Well done~
many hugs,
sue m |

Yeah, that isn't a fun feeling at all, now is it? There is a quiet desperation to the words here, and something darker, and more painful lurking inbetween the lines... Here's hoping you got the call...in some shape or form...
Nicely penned Wiz.
