MIRC: Care to Chat?

Once upon a precious time
Not so long ago
Two distant souls met
In this wired contraption called technology.

Searing barriers of space and time,
They held hands and kissed the sweetest kiss
The way only souls can do
It was as warm and real
As virtual-ity could afford.

but that's why I get sad about virtual encounters..to me it's just another testimony of how superficial people really are..good topic to write on and enoyed the thought of what virtuality can and cannot do.

(me, jumping up and down, raising my hand, screaming, "me, me, ME")

I met my husband through this media, and you are so on target, my friend!  I love this part:

   They held hands and kissed the sweetest kiss
   The way only souls can do

EXCELLENT!

I have known a few people that have met in this manner and when their heart is broken the pain is very real. Is it not? No cyber space feelings that go away when the computer is turned off.

thank you for the replies! Technology has indeed affected the way people communicate, and the way people begin and end relationships too. I mean, just look at us now in the forum! If only poets in the Rennaissance had the net, I wonder what they might have done, and written.
