~This Night~

Missing image

 

 

its 2:00 am.

I hear it in his voice, on the

phone I feel the need of a lonely

man, he doesn't know I am feeling

the same way too.

 

 

 

[but he knows me like that]

 

 

 

He breathes in ...sighs "I don't mean

to wake you baby, but I had to hear

your voice".

 

 

[his voice still stirs my soul]

 

 

you've been on my mind,

I am looking at your picture, your

beautiful, so beautiful, I am sorry I hadn't told

you before, do you miss me too?

 

 

 

[yes I do I reply ]

I take in each of his words like its

breath to my lungs.

 

 

 

[I ask him what's on his mind]

he says "I wish you were here with me".

 

 

what we had was deeper than,

so profound, we never spoke of it

we just knew it has always

been.

 

 

I close my eyes against the dark.

remembering.he left to die like a Injured cat

waiting for words that could bring him

back to life, I had none, I had none at

that time .

 

 

but not this night, no not this night,

 

 

 

he becomes silent then says ,

can you talk to me until I fall asleep?

can you tell me, let me hear it in your voice

how much you love me?. how you can't

live without me?

 

 

 

I need to pass this night away. its

too lonely, it holds the darkness like a shrine of

silence around me and I am afraid,

I am afraid .

 

 

 

[I hold back tears],

weaving in and out of each other, threading

our life together, he is my comforter,

lover and friend.

 

 

 

I am loving him tonight, like it's my

last days on earth not his.

    Really strong Rend. The words herein seem to both convey that depth that is you and also the love/angst found in that picture above. Sometimes moments of clarity reveal to us that ritualized life takes us away from the importance to adore our relationships and lives, as they are so fragile and precious. Wonderful write.

    I've felt that way before. That's what poetry does, causes the reader to make a connection. I like "I close my eyes against the dark"...never thought of it like that..."against" but true.

    This one hit home with me ... it did made me cry... I had a girl friend in my life but she died.. of cancer... she was a beauty... but at the time I was a poor roofer... she would call me and I would come see her all the time until the end..
    but we had some great times togather... If it was not for her I would not be writing.. Thanks for sharing this story.. I can only grow from it and become a better Man... Your friend in poetry JackReed3...

  • Thank you

    It can happen, ont he rare occassion, that one shivers as they are touched by the emotions in a poem or story, where the emotions evoked make one want to take part in some way, to help, save, hate or whatever emotion may come from the meaning. I felt a sadness, a desperation, a need to say it will be alright. This piece was very well written, so thank you for the experience.

    This truly moved me... scared me and brought me silent in mind. There is a very real ache between the words of this.... and I found it... or it found me. This is incredibly powerful... exceptional writing. Applause in admiration.

    Rend (forgive me if I am too cavalier)

    You have penned many of my nights over the last several years, except in my case the phone calls were never at 2:00 am albeit the emotions I felt and some of the poems of love that I wrote were around that time of the night when feelings adorne the body, mind,spirit and soul.

    I so thank you for penning such a wonderful story, you know it has a strong element of the truth for some.
