All I ask of you

my face is pale
without a shade of colour
like my tooth undergoing an extreme makeover   


my lips are numbed
after sitting for 2 hours 
in the dentist's chair it felt like a long time ever


my shoulders ached
from trying not to blanched
from the drill, paste and injections in my gums


my eyes got blotchy 
from trying not to sniffle 
no not from the nerves poking but 
from watching Titanic on the TV screen above


afterwards, you held my hand
kissed me and said you know just the right drill  
to make me forget that I just had a root canal ~


All I ask of you 
is to hold my hand and kiss my aches away
after a dentist's visit.

Author's Note:  This fun post is for Poetry Jam hosted by Brian Miller.   (I really went to the dentist and watched Titanic in the tv screen).   The challenge is to pick a favorite song and either use a line from the song in your poem or write a poem inspired by that song.  


I don’t actually listen to music when I write; I write in absolute silence.   But going back to the theme this week, my taste in music is varied from instrumental to pop songs.  But one of my all time favorite music piece comes from the Phantom of the Opera- All I ask of you.   I love it then, I still love it now…. It always moves me specially when the male voice sings the words.. that is all I ask of you ~  here is the link :

Thank you for dropping by.   Happy day  ~
