It all started with this post by poohi.
that lead to a poem by Martin & poohi’s reply to the poem as detailed here.
And then i joined with these lines :
—

The call that never came,
did happen one fine day;
alas, it was a bit too late,
neither happy nor sad,
for the words exchanged,
the pain was too heavy
to carry its own weight,
the complaints too many
to be silenced by excuses of fate;
the eyes too parched
to cry and let things be fine,
the distances too large
to make you my sunshine;
The call that never came,
should never have changed,
neither happy nor sad,
yet disappointed by the same
—
Poohi replied to these these lines and that too is added to the above linked post.
Any more inspired thoughts or ideas ?
Do tell me about “a call” that came or not, on time or not !
–
Brian wrote another poem on “the call” .. I hope I could say this myself ..
yee haw!
Too little, too late. Good job.
You got me thinking.
Now this is inspiring the poet in me too
And I would have wrote on similar lines like u
write still .. your words , your style
why is it
i can never find the phone ringing
in the middle of the night, perhaps
my heart knows it is never good
hearing your voice
after all these years
knowing i can no longer
help you, please, you
should never call
here again.
Thank you so much for this addition to the chain
smiles…just having a little fun with it…
This sounds a bit too hopeless in my ears.
May be he is being realistic. If you keep waiting for call and it never comes.. its no good.. if you stop waiting.. and it comes.. its no good..
why should one wait for one particular call anyways? there are so many others!
Wow!
This ‘call’ is turning out to be the call to so many creative posts!!
A brilliant poem , loved the last 4 lines
“The call that never came,
should never have changed,
neither happy nor sad,
yet disappointed by the same”
A balance of emotions… A wonderful poem!
Nice one
Woah. Went on a time machine, story machine, poetry machine there. And, strange as it may seem, I had a “call” write to… enough to be close, but a ramble none the less. If I may?

Just read it again. Talk of coincidences!
What a wondeful post! Loved it all the way ’round.
