Cyber

You are my eprom,
erasable, irresistable you,
Our love, silicon stacked,
micro etched, over clocked speed,
no convoluted curlings of archaic banyan vines
can hold us,
we sing the ether net,
our route is clear,
we need no verification to connect,
from quirky qwerty to wet wire, complete,
I have your number,
forever lying in my subnet
mask, we no longer wear,
you are my rock,
my static IP,
dynamic but unmoved,
the hot metal hype of the world
flows over us,
but our connection is constant,
living only for those days,
of beautiful bio interface.

Olias.

Olias, what a clever poem. A modern modem love story. Very innovative. Thanks for it.

Indeed clever. May no one sever your cyber connection. The fibers around the west seem to get severed every so often. It's like being placed in limbo until they are fixed.

btw, I do think there are some commas that need removing, see what you think

Vas,
Thanks for the suggestion about the comma's sometimes I tend to go overboard, in future I'll try and practise much more restraint. Take care.

Regards,
Olias.
