It's been a year, since I heard from you Not a word, nor a phrase, nor a call No e-mail, nor any poetry Not a ring, not a thing, at all I haven't even given a thought Bout your plight, or your flight, gee that's right The silence from you has been deafening In the morn, in the noon, in the night A slow sudden chill came over me Last night, as I worked on a poem Your name and your face flashed into me From the vast part of past, the unknown Taking my thoughts, like loosing my breath An empty space deep in my mind Bringing me back to when I knew you Lost in the place and the time Leaving my desk to ponder my thoughts I gently sat on the chair Hypnotically thinking, magically linking As I sat with a faraway stare Suddenly woken, from the thoughts left unspoken The ring of the telephone clattered I jumped and I shuddered, from words left unmuttered My trance was so quickly shattered I picked up the phone, while still in the spell Placing it close to my ear Your voice echoed thru, somehow I just knew That it would be you, that i'd hear So how have you been, why did you call? I could hear your hesitant smile Feel your hands shaking, your voice was half breaking It's been such an awful long while ~ |
