The Online Romance
Grace said:Cybernetic Romance
Sunrise on the Eastern Sky
As it crawls to midnight in yours
A yawn and a good morning
I whisper as I log on
I see your name and I smile
My beloved is online
A smiley, a hi
And we are both on high
Romance in the air
We are, in datas
That tick and click into the bank
Of the CPU
I gaze and adore your avatar
A knight, a smith
A bard, a minstrel
A man, a lover
A messenger so swift
A poet of old
You speak your mind
I understand
You pour out your heart
Shaking me to my core
For you say without constraint
What need to be said…
Your wish for love
For truth and honesty
For adoration sent from up above
Your need for togetherness
Your need for surcease
Of life’s unhappiness
You say them all
To me without restraint
Your likes, dislikes
Your needs and wants
Your desires
Your aspirations
We talk of love
Of loving and giving
Pleasures and delights
In our worldly realms
Of dreams of fulfillment
And a coming together
The night grows old
And hanker for dawn
We say goodnight
A smiley on hold
A click, a waving smiley
Computer shutdown.
I don't know what to say grace apart from the obvious and that is you're brilliant

-Heartache-
You lied to me,
You played with my heart.
You said you hated him,
He treated you in evil ways.
Now you tell me it was all a lie,
In fact hes your boyfriend.
You stole my heart,
Then you crushed it.
You asked me why i didnt trust you,
I said i did.
Big mistake,
Look what it got me.
I tried to keep you,
From hurting yourself.
It looks like you would,
Rather hurt me.
Do you know how much,
I loved you?
Do you have any fucking idea,
How hard I'm crying?
You said you dont want,
Me no more.
You do what I dont like,
So i wont talk to you.
You make my heartache,
You are squeezing my insides.
To a pulp,
From eleven and a half hours away.
I love you after,
All this shit.
All this shit,
You have done to me.
You told me you hated,
Jerks.
So I was myself,
I respected you,
Cared for you,
Loved you,
Now you tell me i'm to nice.
I ask you to have,
A nice life.
You tell me you won't,
What am i supposed to do?
You love playing twith my emotions,
It causes me Heartache.

-Tearful Rain-
When we first started talking,
I was happy.
A month later,
I was hurtin.
Hurting because I wanted to see you,
But i am to far away.
When we were talking,
And I heard the rain.
All I could imagine was,
You and me kissing in it.
Now when i hear the rain,
All I can imagine.
Is all the tears,
I have shed for you.

-Thank You-
you hurt me and hurt me
i tried to be there for you as much as i could
i cared for you
i loved you
but it seems all you could do was mess with my heart
and spit in my face
i wished that i was dead
i wish that i had never met you
maybe that way i would be in so much pain
god this life sucks
but now i am kind of glad you hurt me like this
now i have a better out look on life and i see the evil in it
not just the good that hides the bad
i refused to be fooled again
thank you for your torture on my soul
it helped me see the truth
it has allowed me to see what is important in this world
i will full fill what i want in this life
so that i will have no regrets in the afterlife
thank you
you hurt me and hurt me

How can anyone feel this way
never even having met before
Its like
I have known you
my whole life
I feel like I can
tell you anything
You make me smile
with just one message
Your words fill my inbox
I sift through them often
After each conversation
I wonder why we could not
have met in person
I curse the circumstances
that don't allow us to be
I hate the distance
but its such a pure romance
Never having had the physical heat
yet we have melted together emotionally
thanks for entering milky , loved your poem [/quote]
Thank You Paul :)

Love, Downloaded
It began with words
that dripped
from the screen
and onto the touch
sensitive
fingertips
of wandering hearts
The silver linings of promises
were compromised by
lonely murmurs
spoken through wires
of platinum flat screen displays
Two were connected
by way of cosmic genius
and their unrelenting desire to meet
where both were half-way home
amid the shades of secrecy and lust
trumped danger
Vastness between
the once unspoken romance
closed quick
the flowing currents
of seamless bandwidth
and submitted to the throes of passion
Today the relic of the screen
of the flash
of download and space
is archived and little used
for embraces found amid the emotes
transcend cyberspeak
Nurtured are they
within the grip of ardor
that flourishes against all odds
and abides forever
in the hearts of lovers
