Longing Landline
Words that needn't be spoken
I needn't tell him my thoughts, he already knows
despite unsent letters
despite unheard conversations
despite published poetry, pulsed prolific prose
he feels the love I have inside
genuine, unselfish, pure
energy radiating in cosmic waves
surpassing science, surpassing basic intellect
twin flame finessed, a ripple effect
regardless of time and space, heartbeats connect
a longing landline
messages received through synchronicity
*
I needn't speak, he receives my notes
"I miss you," "I think about you"
pop up in song lyrics
words on a billboard
sudden waves of emotion
memories of us unpacked in quotes
dreams too real to be only dreams
soul aligned beyond boundary lines
resonance minus reason; out-of-season
theatrics tailored to true-to-life themes
a longing landline
words unspoken, akin to his spirit woken
*
I needn't talk about it, he hears my words
my name blowing in the wind
my laughter splashing in rainfall
chatter: "I love you for life"
mind space talk whistled in songs of birds
a pep talk on a certain Sunday
or a wake-up call on an uncertain Monday
psyche aligned, of spirit kind
when time and distance equal irrelevance
a longing landline
words left unsaid aren't knots but threads
unraveling traveling to him without a sound

My poem reveals unspoken words to a person from my past based on the theories of Carl Jung.

Not sure how I missed this Marilyn but this was lovely. It’s funny how these ‘signs’ appear when you think about a person. Fab top story.

Such silly drivel.

This is brilliant. I loved it. Rhythmic and clever. Relatable and a joy to read.
Nice write up
Ethereal and beautifully resonant. The concept of a “longing landline” gave such a vivid image of soul-deep connection. Carl Jung would’ve nodded in quiet agreement.
Nice keep trying more
