Waiting On The Line

 

Silence is never golden

When it comes to you,

Every hour without your words

Saturating my mind

Lowers the blood levels

In my veins,

Causing my heart to wither

A little more.

As the hours pass

The emotional drought

Gets closer to reaching

Emergency status.

Then Just one phone call

From you

Is like a rainstorm in summer

Making the barren wasteland

In my feeling

Just a distant memory,

As my heartland

Becomes overrun

With red rose bushes.

[SPINNING ON that dizzy ..]

Ahhh Like a cool drink of water. This just races down the page and says "Don't make me wait". I don't wanna :) I can breathe again haha Nice happy ending

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you so much sweetie… always a pleasure to hear from you.

Oh the agony and quiet desperation of waiting...waiting...sweet when the sound of their voice takes your breath away cowboy.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

It sure does Moonbeam, thank you very much for the kind review.

[Frieda P]

Makes my heart smile to know you're in love. :)

[An owl on the moon]

I know this feeling too well... the painful withering place... waiting... your words are always so powerfully emotional and stirring.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you kindly for the review good sir.

[LadyAnn68]

Love it...just perfect..as always you get to the heart!

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you so much, the heart of the matter is how I like to be.

[LadyAnn68]

I know...I know you....

[Rita L. Sev]

We really do need to hear the sound of a loved one's voice - this is a beautiful analogy, Dale.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you so kindly again Rita… yes hearing from that special someone is a much needed thing for a lonely heart.

[Marie]

Very nice. E-mail is good, and texting is good, but not any substitute for a loved one's voice...

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

You got that right Marie, thank you.

[Jennie Baron]

The right kind of love indeed makes the heart and soul blossom and grow. Well stated, Dale!

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Yes it certainly does, thanks again Jennie.

[Kayleigh]

Oh my baby, you know you always touch my heart but when you write like this, it touches my heart and makes me want to kiss and hug you. You're my whole world and being away from you kills me. I'm right here beside you, always and forever. I love you...xoxo

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

I know you are baby and that means everything to me.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]
