Is There Anyone There

Is There Anyone There

 

There

 Is someone knocking  

But there is no one home

 

There

 Is someone calling 

On a disconnected phone

 

Talk

 About freedom but

There is nowhere to roam

 

I

Really must get out of here

I need some space I got to leave

 

Remove

Your heart from that well worn sleeve

You talk about pain but you never seem to bleed

 

Hello

Can you hear me

sometimes there is such thing that even in the middle of a crowd you feel you are alone and finding it hard to reach for somebody

[Neville]

That is so very true my friend.. thank you for the visit... Neville

This could be made into a country song to memorialize how much I was a rolling stone in my younger days. (My rambling heart is still rolling along, but since I'm old now, I stay put physically). I love your slightly twisted take on the classic country theme stated in your title. Sorry I keep going incommunicado, but that's the way my cookie crumbles (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Neville]

I just luv the way your cookie crumbles Margie & so much appreciate the visits in-between..... Nug, Nug... N

I hope they can hear You my friend, as I hope they will "wake up" to Your words, it seems that their hearts are used to pain that they feel it's normal to feel it, so they don't bleed, unless they realize the game, what's really going on, nothing will change, a solitude is one of the best ways to awareness.

Bless you my dear friend.. what a lovely little sentiment and message you have left following your visit to these words....... Neville

[Lyn Anderson]

Aren't we all somewhat disconnected? I wonder, this technology, that it doesn't rob us of something ...

[Wild Rose]

Thought it was following the song "Someone knocking at my door - but no one there"

My phone is always switched off _ keep it for emergencies

Plenty place to roam (near here > My electric scooter cant go there
Tried to get out this morning _ The heavy rain came down
Got no sleeves today

Had tooth out yesterday - pain gone Dentist plugged it no blood

[Neville]

Blimey.. poor you. I sincerely hope you feel better soon my friend.... oh' and thanks for stopping by this page here........ All Good Things, Neville

Just got to the harbour for a walk > Thunder rain _ we never opened the doors - just came back home

[Neville]

we had first rain in goodness knows how long last night.. still good to know you are okay... N

Good morning Neville. Fresh from heavy rainfall last night. Your poem starts quite calmly asking questions and then I sense in later lines frustration. There is a reaching out and someone is either deaf and can't hear the author or they are deliberately ignoring him. Then a command is given, which to me is almost chastising someone for publicly displaying their emotions, telling them to stop it. The line where pain is mentioned, "You talk about pain but you never seem to bleed" is I think a bit of a put down and then the final question where the author is unsure whether he has been heard. A sort of deathly silence follows.

A situation of conflict methinks. Not totally sure, but that is how your words appear to me.

I really like the interesting interpretations that you find in what you read Chris....and tis always such a pleasure to find them..... this one is another oldie and to be honest, I can't remember what motivated me to write it... terrible innit..... Neville

[Chris Shaw]

You always put a smile on my face Neville. Words are important to me and when I read I have to convince myself that I have understood mainly what the author intended. The fact that you can't remember, is hilarious.

[Neville]

success then.. I like to see people smiling and there's nothing quite like making folk do just that... honest tho.. I truly can not remember.. could make summat up I s'pose x

[Chris Shaw]

Always better to tell the truth :)))

[Neville]

always!..... my word, I would be in trouble...:))
