Memories can be fun and haunting, my telephone answering machine ring, but verbal messages are very daunting, all messages, I cannot erase a thing,
So whenever I do a playback, voices of those long gone are there too, my aunt who passed away still on track, the ex whose voice whispers I love you,
So apart from memories in my mind, this phone holds its own memories too, so a picture in my memory and a voice I can find, at times it can be a comfort when am blue,
I have tried to delete all, some voices have those heart strings pull, yet it still continues to take that missed call, I now wonder if this phone will ever become full.

About this poem:
This is one weird phone I can adjust the settings for calls but for some reason will not erase incoming messages even though hit the right buttons. My aunts voice and she has passed now over 14 months ago still there and very clear, the recent ex whose words said in two languages of her love for me. So two faces I can clearly see in my mind can also have sound to the memories too. As of this morning can now add another name to this list of calls as my Aunt passed away last night 4/2/14 last in the line of my fathers side of the family.
This is so very yrue..i used to keep messages like that for years...looking at the pictured and listening to the voices...some happy and some very sad feelings would come up...in the case of my family it was a blessing and my exes a curse... finally erased them ...good write bud
Air of whimsy But, ultimately "Emotional"! Steve, this is a wonderfully poignant write! To date, I think it is one of your best!... Great write "Comrade"! Have missed you, I see you went on that little hiatus for a bit...it was refreshing for you, 'cause you have returned "With A Vengeance"!...and stronger than ever! Love This!
