All She Wants

words that bind

all she wants is...
a call
just one call,
a call to let her know
I thought
before I crossed the line...

I stopped wearing our ring
They turned off the phone at home

all she wants
is a call
haunting my thoughts ...
my body feels life, fresh, dancing,glancing ,tugging on me,to run,to roll,to be,to give...
All she wants
is a call
just one call,
before I cross the line...
what a promise I made...
Thanks, I'll just walk on home
I'll just walk on
on home

What we give
we take home

Time weaves its weight in a relationship....even after....

[SHEEMA HUQ]

Hi, I hope all is well. This one feels complete while posing a plethora of questions and indicating, even that this is perhaps a part of a wider sequence...which tells us over time or perhaps a piece of the intricate complexities of this particular relationship, thanks.

Unanswered prayers, the questions roll on , I will one day address them as you ask. Then maybe I can find a solution.

is communication the antidote? without saying, I feel the angst, and perhaps guilt, weaved in this work.

[Cherrie]

...before I cross the line.. it is hard to hold on to that promise at timesm but hold fast cause you can never uncross that line.- great message wrapped in a rhyme.

Thank you Cherrie, you are an inspiration,Like Emma,I keep looking at the different weights in this poem,and they change , Today I am lingering on the "I need you" place in my heart,and the you is me.

Our inability to articulate to say how we feel before we cross the line and can't turn back. The simple act of communication all she needs is a call and maybe finding a way back to ourselves.poignant write.

[lee von cleef]

Yes , if we know who we are, if we have the strength to be.

[Marissa]

This is nice,but your gonna wanna capitalize the first letter of the first word on every line. On some places I would make it flow a little better just my opinion though. Nice Job!

[Muse]

Every now and then, I think we all think about the one thing that he/she wants. It seems so simple...but out of reach. We become lethargic in our ways. A promise made sleepy.

Have read this three times, trying to decide what it hides because it certainly seems to have a wrapping around it, albeit it a very beautiful and melodic wrapping. Not going to delve or dive but just say this points somewhere special and, to someone more than special. Emotional, touching.

[Shellie]

I like the content. I didn't really connect with it, but I like the way its written especially the last two lines...they keep repeating in my head like a motto.

Longings
they bedevil us with their siren songs
even when our hearts are not totally into abandonment
our bodies tug at us
our little self cries out that we deserve a little out of the box time
a little of what others have had and never suffered for
pity our frail human selves
you wrote with sheer honesty

[lee von cleef]

and you too,doing what the cafe does best, a emotional platform, to point our toes ,breath,tilt,tuck,twist,spin,fist,now rip in the water, woosh inward splash, little bubbles string from our gills, the life pulls us to the pools lip.

hmmmm.... I have seen hints of a rodeo cowboy before in your comments... now of a diver ... this is rather fun getting to know the commenter through his comment on another's comment

[lee von cleef]

I wounder? How about if I describe a sneeze?

[Robin]

This poem has special lyrical quality that matches the sentiment in emotional counterpoint . well woven poetry

[lee von cleef]
