Phone Anger
Phone- anchored for hours
Scripted to like an idiot
Trying to find some answers
The whole thing becomes unfurled
At the mercy of computers
That know only what’s punched into them
A simple answer to a question
Would ease my financial world
“Sorry sir, can’t do that
The programne won’t allow me”
“I’ll transfer you to someone else
Who may be able to assist”
Three departments later
None of them real helpful
Problem not yet answered
And me getting very pissed
A polite but very firm goodbye
I hang up in disgust
Wishing it was a rotary phone
Whose cradle I could bust
If this is the world we live in
Controlled by computer generated voice
God help future genetions
Pray they are given their own choice
Levels of Love
Is life really worth it?
Is it really fair?
It’s time to end it
Wait, do I dare?
A little bit closer
Toes at the edge
Waiting for someone
To talk me out of my pledge
Nobody comes
I’m left on my own
A last gasp of life
Into the wind I am thrown
I hear your anguishing cries
Just seconds too late
You found my note of goodbye
I was in a sorrowful state
Twelve stories down
Thinking of you
You could have come with me
Together forever we two
Floor number nine
Am I doing right?
Leaving you alone
With this terrible plight?
Number six rises up
Out of the blue
My mind filled with nothing
But visions of you
I’ve done the wrong thing
I need to retract
There are ways of coping
Other than this terrible act
Floor number three
I scream out your name
Hoping that will release
Some of my shame
I will not be with you
In body no more
Always with you in spirit
Forever
Evermore
Why do I love you?
Is it because of how you look?
You are beautiful from head to toe
In every cranny and nook
Your loveliness shone out to me
From the first time we met
That feeling's only grown stronger
It hasn't left me yet
Why do I love you?
Is it because of how you feel
Your outpouring of emotions
That you release with zeal
You have the biggest, sweetest heart
That is overflowed with love
Giving to all and everyone
Wanting help from no man's glove
Why do I love you?
Is it because of how you think
Never afraid to self express
Against some other click
The values that you hold close
Make you the woman that you are
Out there amongst the millions
The brightest shining star
Why do I love you?
It's because of all of this and more
You are the key that went into my lock
To open up my door
The piece of missing jigsaw
That made my picture whole
I love you always, everyday
With all my heart and soul
