Debt Reckoning

These are evil times we live in, but there will be a reckoning and a surpirse

You called and I had the phone on this time
Laying in our bed I tucked your voice inside my heart

So soft and gentle were your words
Concerned and loving they were full of hope

I let the tiny crystal tears fall

On the envelope of the letter I am mailing to you

It is all I can do to touch you

You are locked away from me

But not our endless, destined, heartbeat

They cannot with their heartless economy

Where men are mere pawns in a financial statement

When the eternal female spirit rises there will be correction

There will be a reckoning of the debt

Until then I will wait and count the days

Until you and I are reunited.

with the title and your quote .. i was preparing for something political .. reading the first half is so gentle, tender love .. each line kept me guessing where you were going with this .. then the darkness .. the injustice of cold calculations and the lover separated..such a stern warning at the end .. remind me not to mess with her :)

You know I read this and I think it needs some editing because it got me dizzy.. but since I know what it is about.. it makes more sense.. but that should not matter in a good poem..so i am wondering.. was it enjoyable the way it is.. to you.. or is it confusing.?

not confusing at all ... enjoyed reading very much ... my own processes can lead me astray of someone else's intent ... i just harness them in and read to the end .. your poem to me is about a lover in prison related to cold calculations of a no heart system ... the woman who is free shares the torment and vows justice to be served ... you could have taken your poem any number of different ways along the way but choose the one expressed ... i like it! and truly feel the impact of the fair warning :)
