you keep calling me back

aspiration, passionless and fruitless
inspiration, head full of white noise
determination, there is only wanting
I should have been asleep hours ago

you keep calling me back

in love, segregation shifts
as if patterns of resistance
grasping this sight, my eyes never close
for each vision a pearl, so precious, this pain is so sweet

you keep calling me back

to suffer the might of the night
itself an interruption in line
sweet caresses fade without your cadence
longing for a phrase to turn

you keep calling me back

an open sea haunts my brain
the winds have a woman's moan
a soft whiteness, sad on the bay
shifting whitecaps spite

you keep calling me back

perspective of an old seaman and his love for the sea yet, too feeble to ever sail again

Oh WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dylan,

This write is brilliant. I like how you kept repeating the lines, "you keep calling me back." It leaves the reader wanting more. I "re-read" this poem three times. It seemed to get better, with every "re-read." I'm awestruck by this write and at a loss for words. Well done. :O) Keep up with the great work. Keep on penning. Thank you so very much for sharing your wonderful and creative talents with us. We all truly appreciate it.
