Computer Dating It’s late at night here the shadows are gathered all around The music on the stereo is low a soft and soothing sound I’ve been a little triste lately but hope it doesn’t show Then the sun bursts through and my smiles begin to flow It’s evening there in the twilight the stars begin to appear You type my name and then call softly hoping I will hear The screen seems to almost dissolve away the miles between And your voice in my ear brings a blush no longer unseen My image on your screen shows me laughing at your wit I can hear your smile as you say, oh I think I’ve made a hit We chat about nothing much but the time swiftly flows The lamp above my desk reveals my face as it softly glows Your camera doesn’t work so I miss the look on your face As my strap slips down does your heart speed up its pace? I didn’t think I’d enjoy talking to you quite as much as this It’s so much fun to listen to your voice and imagine a kiss Did the time pass as quickly for you as it raced by for me? What did we say as we talked both imagining possibilities My thoughts were rambling as I listen to your dear voice Not wanting the date to end but still having no choice Its getting quite late the clock shows it’s a quarter past three What time does that make it there? Yet still you talk to me I breathe the words it’s late love I really ought to go to bed Although as soon as I’ve said it I wish those words unsaid Yes you should, you say, then add, can we do this again soon Please I’d like that, I say, and can hear suddenly a soft tune The stereo is playing still and the song so totally appropriate Stay With Me Till Dawn I didn’t realise it was getting so late Goodnight then love, I say, I’ll be here again soon I promise There in your voice I can hear a soft gentle goodnight kiss Bye for now then, I say, I’ll be off have a good nights sleep As I leave I see hope again in morning’s light begin to peep Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning [This message has been edited by Marsha (edited 06-03-2001).] |

Beautiful heartfelt writing Mushy! I can only hope the best for you...this is quite the verse.... "My image on your screen shows me laughing at your wit I can hear your smile as you say, oh I think I’ve made a hit We chat about nothing much but the time swiftly flows The lamp above my desk reveals my face as it softly glows Your camera doesn’t work so I miss the look on your face As my strap slips down does your heart speed up its pace? I didn’t think I’d enjoy talking to you quite as much as this It’s so much fun to listen to your voice and imagine a kiss." Of course a word of caution as there is always the other side of life that can turn nasty and be totally undesirable. Delightful writing all the same!! |
