Long Phone line Poems

I 

See the phone towers with the lights- 
Glowing lights! 
What a world of mischief and sorrow their pattern foretells! 
How they twinkle, twinkle, twinkle
In the icy air of night! 
While the clouds that are...

Twas a month before Christmas, when all through poetry soup
The poets were writing, their latest scoop.
Their hands flew, across the keyboard with care
Hoping to create, something they could share.

The writers were perched stubbornly in their...

My T.V. just left, said he was
Gonna go out and catch a real movie...
Those on T.V. stations have grown too trite,
My refrigerator told me,
He ain't letting me in no more...
At least till I drop 20...
I...

She knew that he was leaving
They had a baby on the way
He’d definitely miss the delivery,
Most likely the 1st birthday
He knows that she’s a fighter
She’d have to do this one on her own
He was leaving...

The memory of one night recently
Still wanders intently through my brain
I hear your voice in darkness and it leaves me
Longing for more and it excitedly drives me insane
You again had taken me places, and I...

My granddaughters asked me one day
"Grammy, how did you date
Going to an all girl school
Wasn't it pretty hard for you?"

They were at that dating age
And figured they could trap me

I just told them with a...

I did as he said and got the word FAILED
I call back to the tech and naturally get another male
Again I try to tell this one my predicament
And he says, "That's what I do is...

I.

I am travelling back to the memory
capable of beheading me.

There was new happiness in that hotel room,
Between momma and I, warring gloom,

Until the phone rang--until my mother's voice
Seared my ears with Death's heat of choice:

"You...

Whispers of lustful affections murmur through the phone
clustered together no one wants to be alone
young boys rubbing down their girlfriends skin
lost in the mood of imaginary fairytale
they exchange romance and kisses and the phone-line
memories of...

To USA from India 

Greetings on your 235th Independence Day


You move ahead and move a little faster than before,

Your goals are still far ahead my friend,

Keep moving, even if you find the roads,

Not as smooth...

She called my number by mistake,
Still her voice I just couldn't shake,
Every word I could still hear,
Just as if she was whispering in my ear,
Not knowing the number to that phone line,
I simply dialed *69,
Not...

Moved into my first apartment, I was now standing completely on my own,
Called the telephone company to install my phone so I wouldn’t feel alone.
Felt pretty proud of myself, just didn’t realize how young and...

The cars pull up, the doorbell’s rung.
To a hugging welcome, in they come.
With gifts wrapped up and tied with bows
There is warm handshaking, more hello’s.

The men bring in some good red wine
That will go down...

Jamie decides today will be the day 
we take off to Kansas. 
We've both dreamt of it, 
driving off to flat lands 
where we would be swept off, 
cackling, 
on our brooms to Oz.

I find myself falling, totally completely falling.
This feeling new and foreign to me.
My heart is being given to someone when I never would have thought it could 
happen again.
His voice floating to me over the...

My friend has few friends except me.
I call her twice a week, because of this.
And she is always available.
Her phone line is open.

She stands in the street and yells at speeders.
I have asked her not...

You traveled with me in a flash of thought.
Tanja called from Frankfurt on the Main.
She arrived in Germany; there was no one to meet her.
Let guide her together on her trip up the Rhine.

The love, the unfathomable for me. 
Peeking through glass, from the 
phone line I gain feeling.

So long deprived and, suddenly
inundated. There is beauty in the 
clouds again just from words you
are saying.

The dark and the...

The storm was rolling in
The boredom began to stir within
Begging to be set free from the walls that confined them
Two children wanted to brave the storms that were engulfing 'em
Outside they went with all smiles
While...

THE LINE

The Line 
There is something to be said for hunger 
A man gets stuck in line 
Becoming number 
Just living for the blessed TRAY of food 
Oh wonderfull food the institution gives to me...

you smiled and placed your hand on the glass and cried.
I leaned my head against the glass and told you i am sorry,

It’s a phone call, long distance,
your voice empty - echoes,
reminding just how far we have drifted,
How we can never again connect so easily -  
without prejudice or distrust.

The phone line cackles with deception ,
