CYBER LOVE

When the world crowds in
and makes my life seem small,
I break the barriers of reason
and fly to where you are
so if I cannot find you,
please know I understand
your world
is crowded too -

DREAM LOVER

My mind is void of any productive thoughts.
It is filled with visions of you,
as the night sky is filled with stars.
You enter.
You brightly fill my head with wonder and delight.
You are magic.
You touch me from afar, as if inside me.
You sedate my thoughts.
Only the spectral vision of you remains.
So fleeting, so volatile.
Yet, I can feel you.
I move with the shadow of your being.
As daylight succumbs to night,
as starlight chases the moon,
follow the longings of my heart,
surrounding you with my passion.
Feel me.
Surrender to my desires.
Touch me.

I used to live in my imagination
I dreamed about the things I’d say and do
and for a very special situation,
I’d create a kind of character like you
haven’t we met before
in a castle in the air?
I’ve built so many castles
but weren’t you always there?
and how can I explain
the feeling that I get
that you and I have loved before
if we have never met...

THE ELECTRONIC WINDOW

Standing here. . .
At the edge of the internet. . .
reflecting back
to the days. . .
before you.
Realizing. . .
my experiences
in the vastness of
chat rooms and web sites. . .
only make me
more thankful
and appreciative
and perhaps, mystified
by the larger, greater,
karmic world
that brought us together.
I offer thanks in jest
to the computer gods. . .
and rethink my former
discomfort with the shrinking
world we live in.
If the world
had not shrunk
due to the power of
technology,
I would never have met you.
And without you,
I would never have
enjoyed and treasured
an old-fashioned love
that I thought only happened
in dreams.

ONE DAY AND ANOTHER

Within the desert of my arms
Where you have never lain
I hold the yesterday shadow of you
subtle and gone as smoke.

Within my celibate cell
where late you sat bringing light
I hold your fragile fragrance
safe from the jealous wind.

Into my tomfoolery tumble of words
falling from me as blood
did your heart catch the whisper of pain
too loud to be heard?

Within my hovel of flesh
you made brief haven of my loss
and I hold your shadow as hostage
past the last dying of my savage hope.
