cold cold telephone

Cold telephone 

feels like stone 

and I don't believe the reception is all it use to be

It don't seem like the same voice 

that uncoiled from her tongue

Slicker 

than a preacher's whistle  

And it don't seem like the same ears

That picked my key to tune to

I seem to be thinkin'

Like I did when I was drinkin'

And admittedly I'm getting a little concerned

'Cause what use to make me feel

Like I was wooing her

made me feel like I was worthy

And now the lack of response

Makes me feel like I'm only getting old

Every day 

Has a way 

of reminding me the last is on the rise

But I ain't comin' easy 

No...

I'll be kicking like a bass pedal 

In the leather 

back seat of a '57 Chevy

Honest tone and words shared in these words.
"Every day
Has a way
of reminding me the last is on the rise
But I ain't comin' easy "
I'm 57 year old and I do understand the words above. The poem told a honest tale with a good ending. We always miss what we cannot have. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

What did you to piss her off, drink? If god created the earth, he either knew what he was doing or was a sadistic son of a b***h. 'cause the ingredients have been there for the picking for a long long time.....

there is too much comfort in forever....it find things to get under our skin....to remind us that we aren't doing quite enough for the universe to pursue greatness....it's screaming at you .....I'm guessing it has morning breath:)

I really like the title, transformation happens incessant not waiting for nobody's consent as it is law of nature but to accept is not at all easy, great footage on real life, take care

only a minute ago I was lamenting that the guys at the liquor store no longer ask to see my idea . . . they could at least ask, right?

my kids asked if that is a mid life crisis, I hoped it would be a little more exciting than that though

ah a telephone, not a cell phone...I am taken back to the days of old cars and good reception on the phone...when there was silence, it was because she had fooled me...and my wooing and cooing was in her ears, nothing doing.
