Damsel's Test 2 by AmiableJay(m): 1:54pm On Jul 20, 2014 |
Dame's Test -PART 2. "The wait was minute like her apathy for my antics" The re-call was necessary Ignited by a friend's angry Tone and shock at my strangeness But my inner friend deserved the reprimand Her whisper of doubtings perched on me Stinging my truest desire with bites of bee "Call her and know the truth" my other friend said Flight of doubtings, then reality bled Bled to death, made rebirth necessary Her first failure tossed. ~ Life, a telephone science Imbued with subtle cues; through our unknown path The nights wrapped in foggy camouflage I rolled on my lonely bed and grabbed my phone "Hello dame" I called the older sis, the perfect broker Surprise lit her voice and did blind my cool "You are Sam? Ain't you?" She fired A barrage of stutter coiled my tongue "Anybody there?!" "No this is not Sam" "Then who?" Silence blow-jobed my mouth "There?" I was jolted From my hidden world of silence "Joe I am, Carol's friend" "Sam I know, but who are you?" "Joe now" I almost cried "Ohhh the lover boy. Lemme hand her the phone" The wait was minute like her apathy for my antics ~ It was a lifetime ago But I still know the letterings of the past Like the bare of my palms Like the cypher of the future Like her whisper of no! ~ "Did you miss me?" She asked "I miss you and..." The connection saundered "Helloooooo!"I screamed Screams of 'ambulance' rent the telespace Followed by a soft cracking sound of snapped bones Now void with a strange solemness. ~ It started with a premonition I ignored My ears twitched But I foresook the prophetic clues The dawn dropped with a strange yellow That sembled the dull of the dusk And birthed a morning that was first in annals When the Sun arose the Northward Then came the urge to call her For retest, And ascertain her real sentiments me toward. ~ "She's slipped into the Vegetative State" The doctor said I clasped my arm around her coma-ed shoulders And whispered a moan A tear of agony escaped my eyes and scalded her glossy cheek "She'll get through" I screamed "But the fall was fatal" He re-fired Like he was happy with her plight, or mine "Carol will survive this and pass this test She'll tell me she loves me like I do!" "Yes I do love you Joe" Her weak voice broke out. Read more of great poems et stories on muselord.. Just now |
