Nothing But A Cyber Romeo |

Nothing But A Cyber Romeo As your eyes caress the flashing screen Are you sure what those words mean They may promise paradise for you But how can you be sure that it’s true Your face may flush and the heat rise Are you sure you can believe your eyes? Those words of seduction so sweet Just set up the next piece of meat With a wave of a pen like a knife Words into your soul will cut a slice For how long you’ve bathed in ink Loves’ words are not what you think You thought you were the only one Did you believe you were his sun? Others who’ve lost this sordid game Felt as you now do the hurt and pain But we’ve come through this sad fire Our wings will help you, fly you higher You wanted to believe, well we did too Wanted to see the dreams of me and you And to fly to the stars and dance all night Conjure the magic to bejewel our sight But the truth is there isn’t magic in this It is nothing just an ordinary cyber kiss Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Marsha, this is so outstanding a portrayal of the new way that has come into being, with which loving hearts can be deceived. Awesome! Thanks. Sandra |

Sandra love, thank you muchly love, having been taken as it were, I thought I could show my solidarity for my sister phoenixes. Take care love Mushy 'Deer love, thank you but you are far too kind love, you really are. But I do thank you truly Take care Mushy Victoria, thank you so very much love, and aren't there though, far too many and too many of them get really hurt. But we'll help them rise won't we. Take care Mushy Sven love, you always say that, I know I do but that's because it's true, always in your case. Thank you love for the support and the inspiration. Take your place in the phoenix phalanx love, we've got formation flying today, and I always have trouble with the turns. Thanks kid Take care love Mushy SP, thank you so very muchly as I've said having been bitten I just want others to know there are others out here. Thank you again Take care Mushy Temptress, thank you also, the sisters united shall never let another sister down. Take care Mushy Kari love, very kissed off In fact utterly utterly kissed off. Thanks sweetie, you might know that I'd retaliate mmmm? And did I fire a warning shot across the bows first? I think I did!! What's that warning never awaken a sleeping dragon, or in this case a peaceable phoenix. Take care love Majestic Marsha LL love thank you, but you could have done love, and yours would be better. Thank you truly and you may fly with me any time. And don't worry once the singeing wears off your wings will be as good as new. Take care love Mushy Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Oh, yes...... it's just too easy to believe the cyber lies that come from the lips of a cyber Romeo!!! Just because it sits in your living room and gives you messages of love on the screen, does not mean that it's real!!! Hard lesson to be learned, especially if you're lonely!! Thank you, big sis!! Write on! -<--<--{(@ |
