Madness in the key of me
by Deborah Neher

I have no sense of humour
I have no sense at all
I spend my whole life waiting
Just waiting for your call
being here without you
is so completely wrong
I'm here outside your tempo
I'm here outside your song.
Im haunting all my rooms now
just trailing like a ghost
I think of every thing
I miss holding you the most
It's more than half past midnight
Im running out of time
There's nothing more to say now
Im running out of rhyme.... aaah!

"The very idea of a bird is a symbol and a suggestion to the poet. A bird seems to be at the top of the scale, so vehement and intense his life ... The beautiful vagabonds, endowed with every grace, masters of all climes, and knowing no bounds -- how many human aspirations are realized in their free, holiday-lives -- and how many suggestions to the poet in their flight and song!" – John Burroughs

Well, Deb, I must say that your first line belies the rest of the poem. I think you still have quite a sense of humor! Most of us have probably been there at one time or the other, pacing the floor, drunk on regret, and soooo lonely! I enjoyed this. It's a great read.

It begged to be rescued! So, here it is once again.

Oh thanks for digging out that old conker! LOL That's one of my frenetic poems. Every now and again one of those pops up, and I have to post it or it won't go away. They are like gnats!!! I think I have one called 'The screen door slammed' or something like that, that is crazy, and another one about epithets, and slogans.. just nuts. But kids like 'em.
