Denied again, You close to me You’re gone for now With family I hoped tonight For your return I long your eyes Dark brown and warm An hour I’ll drive To welcome you home But I don’t know when So I hold close my phone The phone, it rings! Your number shows! Your flat mate called God bless you Jeff No word tonight Of your return Another day I must withstand Tomorrow Maybe I’ll get your call My body will vibrate Thanks to that phone and all And when it does I’ll check the number Will it be Jeff Or you… My thunder RAAAAAAA!

Interesting..Waiting is a pain isn't it?  I wonder how this got buried. A small poem with a lot of impact. I liked it.Nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? "Thoreau" |

Hi Doug! I'm patient for a while when it comes to waiting, but after that I'm just nuts. I can imagine what this would be like. Sounds long awaited for, the anxiety is a killer. Hope that 'Thunder' calls soon |

Doug -- I really enjoyed this. I remember well all the times I'd run to the phone at every ring hoping against hope that it was 'him' and it would always be my mother or the neighbor. You captured those feelings very well! --You can either take me as I am...or you can watch me as I go.-- |

Home again And what a night! We opened up Brought truth to light You sang to me With siren’s tongue Till my head just Spun and spun I talked You talked We talked some more Now I know What friends are for Welcome home Please stay a while I’ll sit right here and watch your smile RAAAAAAA! Douglas |
