Every day I run to the computer, my stomach filled with the proverbial butterflies. Some days you light up the screen. I relax momentarily. You are still there, my aquarian lover. Your aura flows from the cold glass. Surrounds me with a touch of passion. I am almost happy. Some days, you haven't been listening. You are busy without me. Dissapointment fills me. I am stuck on hold waiting till you write. You mean I am supposed to have a life? I am unsettled. Irrational thoughts creep in, attempt a takeover. Some days, I come close to pitiful, the way I absorb your words. I cling to them, make love to them every chance I get. The computer is my lifeline now. Our main contact through electronic means. Slightly absurd, isn't it? Years ago, in your arms for real, we never would have known it could come to this. Is this the future of love? Some days, my ache for you tries to take control. I would reach through the screen- pull you out- devour you with kisses and more if only I could. Someday, it will be real again. But today, I run to my computer for love.. |

Cat... I hear you. This kind of love is all heart and soul. Your words with an on-line lover dive into the soul. I have faith this love for you will eventualy develop into much more. Another great poem, Darlin` LarBear |

So true in these times of bits and bytes. Got my vote! Life is not a spectator Sport! Dance like no one's watching. Love like it's never going to hurt. |

I often wonder how many romances live and die by the computer. I know your feelings here. I, too, run to my computer every morning, but there is no romance to be found there. But some darn nice friends. Hope every thing works your way. Exceptionally nice poem. Hardrock (I voted too) |

How very sharp and poignant, catalinamoon, and unfortunately so true for so many. I am stuck on hold waiting till you write. You mean I am supposed to have a life? There is a tinge of self-deprecating humor here that makes the poem all the more lonely. Very well put, all of it. "And one day...the whole stinking world would be theirs..." -- Velvet Goldmine (Todd Haynes, Oscar Wilde and, unofficially, David Bowie) |

Hello Cat, I can sooo relate to that poem well written. Gets my vote. Kethry Kethry. When dark of night steals your soul. Think of me and be made whole. |

Sandra everytime you write something like this I feel like we must be sisters of sorts. I feel so many of the same things as you do...I live for my love to talk to me on the computer as well. And like tonight when he is not here...the demons do try to invade my mind. Keep writing these wonderful poems. Dee |
