BEVR: Sandi's Cellphone BEVR/Dallas

Broad's Ear View Report: Sandi's Cellphone BEVR/Dallas

Cellphone BEVR
By Sandi, LBFCA Poet Laureate

I never got to Dallas...
It was not meant to be...
But thanks to love and cellphones...
Dallas came to me!

I planned the night with Clayton
No shoes of shiny red...
I donned my summer nightie
And snuggled down in bed!

I waited and I worried..
Thought a million things..
The phone rang...JULIE screamed!
"I'm here! Call you when he sings!!"

Second call..I grabbed the phone!
"This is the Night!" he said!
I brushed my silent tears away..
As he crawled in my head!

And when the song had ended...
And I was still in shock..
I held my breath and listened in
As he began to talk!

Then climax of it all...
"If I Could Watch You In Your Room.."
I pictured every clutch and pull...
{was THAT a sonic boom?}

I felt his spirit in the room...
I swear to you he came...
Standing in the shadows...
He softly said my name!

I am sure you think I'm crazy...
Had a little too much wine?
But I had a moment there with Clayton
When he was only mine!

I never got to Dallas...
Well, maybe in my head..
But dear, sweet Clayton sang to me
While I lay in my bed!

So a different kind of BEVR!
BUT this much I know is true...
Clay and Julie made it happen..
Just Look what LOVE can do!
