If you can't feel Passion, love, lust, Sacred need of trust --ミD I can't teach you, I can't reach you, Win your heart & soul. You can't understand My helpless feeling, sure No other man will do... None of the endless hordes Roaming electronic worlds, All looking to score, None, not one, can be you. Rational, reasonable thought Can't explain my attraction To you, faraway & untouched... Yet real, my music-man lover Who once lived in my dreams But now has claimed my soul Ending my loneliness, melting My frozen heart to inspire My poetry with joy and wonder -- And helpless to resist I am forever yours If you only ask.... -------------------------------- No Good At Goodbye The wind whips round the edge of the earth, I hear it moan & sigh, my dreams dying -- Lonely as I am, yearning for you, Empty now, my love is dying too... Goneミ2C you've disappeared into oblivion Lost in the neon blue nowhere; And the wind lashes harsh, savage, As I accept it, finally stop denying, Knowing I cannot lie to myself For you have chosen your exit, And the abrupt, unexpected silence Of your absence is proof you've vanished. I realize I'll never know why You hid your motives, kept quiet, Harboring your private reasons, A mysterious music-man, secretive, Unwilling to be truthful, candid; But maybe it's all for the best You departed like all the rest -- Those brief cyberlovers, suddenly lost, None of them, including you, Ever any good at goodbye. The wind roars across the real world But you and I, we're distant, far apart, You can escape without explanation, Steal away, a thief in the night... While I ponder the cruel fate Of romantic involvement on the Net, Where no one is good at goodbye And disappointment, loss -- inevitable. ---------------------------- SHATTERED ILLUSION Worlds away you sail silently Into a night of dreams, While I live in daylight reality... We are entombed in words, voices, A lost paradise, a surreal maze, An electronic trick of time Having brought us into awareness Of each other's physical existence, A fake sense of being together, Of being so near, touching. In a virtual hall of mirrors, Distorted, we've gazed at reflections And felt secure in our delusion... Now vanished, an illusion shattered By bad timing, conflicting schedules, And the reality of foreign time zones. ------------------------------- --The End-- Author's Note: The first two parts of this poetry series can be read at my website.
