Dial Tone......A Poem for the Only Woman I ever Truly Loved.
She raised the reciever slowly
and placed it against her ear
deep breath
white knuckles
standing in a puddle of liquid
Somehow managing to fumble with
the keypad through the fog of delirium
and haze of tears,
not right, wrong number
redial,
shaking....
finally she gets it correct
she hopes, thinks
shes not sure how, but she hopes
PANIC!
so much liquid, too much, fear, scared
tears intermingling within forming
deranged appearing patterns down
her legs dripping cold, so cold onto her bare feet
cold, gawd damn its cold, fear, hurt, anger, need
NEED
NEED
GAWD DAMMIT I NEED YOU.......
her mind screams, and her soul echos
Yet not a sound does she utter
attempting to dial the number again
softly mumbling please trying to will her please answer
PICK UP
NEEEEEEED
lost footing, a single scream
stumbling
she falls to her knees, splatter of liquid,
kneeling,
kneeling in her own fluid
barely breathing
her body racking with each soundless sob
she waits
waiting........
she listens.........
waitssss
She didn't plan it like this
she was going to go to "Her song, their song"
but it simply wasnt enough
NEED
NEEEEEEEED
GAWD SHE ALWAYS NEEDED HER
She needed her still
even if all she could have was that one moment
those few hellos.....
because within those hellos
was all the enthralling rapture, grace, love, desire, and comfort she ever needed
her voice had the power to bring her to tears or delight
to comfort a frightened child or sing a woman to sleep
Her voice was her comfort, her need
HER NEED
And only that voice could comfort her now, for this, for the end....
nothing else would do.....could do......
just Her
and finally IT CAME.....
HER RELIEF, HER NEED, HER ONES VOICE.......
"hello?"
<silence, and a deep inhale of breath, she couldnt speak only listen>
hello?
<not a sound,sobs rocking her body, arms wrapped around herself, she released, and in those few brief moments, her lover, her love, her one, filled her, flashes of memories, special moments, their moments, smiles, kisses, need, and her voice brought her comfort, when her arms became her ones arms holding onto her>
"hello????"
and within that moment she barely audibly whispered to her love, her one.....
her loves goodbye..........
"lei lei, its okay, im okay, you heard me, and i you."
one deep breath
an almost heard return of love
and then

femme,
oh dear, it ripped my heart out to read this. This was very raw and touching. It is frightening how dangerously a lover can push us over the edge of our existance. Peace to you dear poet, _________________ ~poetry is the lover ,mine artistic soul, and the keeper of my tormented mind.
