Messages Lost In A Lonely Night Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep.
Is the sound of my nights cell phone messages.
As my lover finally comes within cell phone range.

My lover will find nine separate cell phone messages.
As she comes within range of this night’s pleading paging.
All those messages build to ask; compel her to come to me.


Message one was subtle and said
“Enjoy dancing and a few drinks tonight. My love,
If you need me I am only a phone call away.”
It had a picture icon of enjoying drinks.

Message two said “Where is my little froggy voice? ”
Because a week ago you were ill my love.
It had the picture icon of a happy party.
Because you were out on the town partying.


Message three sadly said “You should have visited me
tonight my love.” It had the picture icon of a sad face.

Message four said simply “I miss you!
Why did you not come to me my love? ”
It had the picture icon of the broken hearted lover.


Message five said “Put another log on the fire and come! ”
It had the picture icon of a dog warm and snugly at home.

Message six said “It is 12 o’clock Cinderella
quick run to me my love! ”
It had the picture icon of the magic of meeting a rabbit;
coming out of a magician’s hat. An excellent trick.


Message seven said “Why did you not come to me? ”
It had the picture icon, of a cute cuddly, teddy bear.

Message eight said “Your nightie is under
the pillow (in its place) beside me my love.”
It had the picture icon of a man happily winking.


Message nine disappointed said “You did not
come because you do not love me enough.
True love always finds a way.” It had the picture icon
of a cloudy rainy day. Because my love remained away.
