SPOILER NOTICE

Folder: 
JOURNAL # 41

your call
for me
was like
a 'Spoiler Notice'
my heart beat goes up
only to be let down
I pick up on the fourth ring
taking an eager breath
but at the other end
not another sound
just a tease
it's like you did a
u turn in your own mind
not sure why
I doubt you're deliberately cruel
I just don't understand you
nor the impulse
sometimes the heart can be
a punching bag
and on days like today
it just seems a hollow
forgotten thing
God only knows
what lays behind
these canceled calls you make...........

Author's Notes/Comments: 

was talking on the phone with a good female friend of mine and she was telling me about this guy she likes and how so often he will call and she is so eager to speak to him and then when she picks up due to this or that reason he hangs up. I told her that would really annoy me. She was down about the latest call I could tell but she was making tons of excuses for him and I just thought it was awful so I put myself in her place and wrote about how I imagined that would make me feel if I were in her place.

Very intuitive...

Dear Melissa !!!! I miss you too!!! Girl, I've been about my other forum in chess and loving it there for now... But Postpoems will always be somewhere I can pour out my thoughts :)

This poem, which you managed to iron beautifully even though the actual feeling is just imagined, and not experienced, has a depth that made me think too, how it must have been... Your heart is soft and beautiful, therefore it was easy to put some real feeling into this like your very own experience...

Am glad you are doing well.............

I did wonder what had happened to you. Am glad it was something pleasurable at least. I still recall your poem about that other chess player. If playing chess inspires your inner genius then by all means keep traipsing across all those chess boards............ Thanks for letting me know you are among the living and writing..........Sincerely, Melissa Lundeen.........

Hi Melissa!!!

Good to hear from you soon!
Sorry, just got so much in my hands and I want to edit everything in my folders... Another reason I took some time off. But poetry will always have a special place in my soft heart, haha!
For that Charming Amateur poem, I remember it too... I actually wrote another one to another random someone I met there... But I'll ask his permission first if it's ok to post the poem I gave him here :)
Yes dear, I've found so much inspiration displaying my heart across the boards, and having it crashed too every time I blunder with my moves, haha!
Good to see you:)
