SINCERELY PERPLEXED*

Folder: 
JOURNAL #36

love sick you sound

a lovely feast

in so many ways

that feeds my

aching heart

though you leave me

without a net

or any recourse

of my own

but to wait blindly for hours

on line

I did that gig for many

weeks prior

to little or no avail

I've grown weary

and left word in your court

repeatedly

I am here

but waiting in the wings

not hanging out on line

and now you claim you waited

for me all night long

a man in the desert

can not expect someone to assist him

if he does not at least

call out to the passing caravans

you have the technology

but choose not to paddle your boat in

such waterways of communication

an eight to twelve hour windowed

email would have served your

cause in a warm and timely fashion

when I throw you ropes via

texts, poems, emails, off lines

and you choose not to take a hold of them

why respond then forlorn of my

general absence

can you tell me that?

signed,

sincerely perplexed......................
