Phone Home by Newleaf

Phone Me.

At the back of today is tonight and tonight needs a shoulder
to cry on.

Tonight is in conflict.

Within light's framework of gloaming, at a time when dreams
start tearing at over-washed seams

night needs consoling.

A moment maybe, of sheer serendipity.

The bottle stands near and asks to be partner in shifting
the world from my weary head.

Ah - - but no !

Been there and done that and it just never works.

Tonight wants more than a mere bag of crisps and a
comforting drink.

It is hurting.

It skulks like an overused tune.

Like a bruised piece of music tonight needs soothing.

Not a good place to be is the back of today.

So phone me - - soon.

It's amazing how one phone call can put a spring in one's step, a smile on their face, or a feeling of being loved and cared for. I've felt this way before myself where sleep won't come as the mind chatters on. Wonderful expressions within this poem Fay.
