Plug in

She cries this in my ear...

"His touch- shoulder to shoulder-

His scent- affects me- starry eyed,

My desire is to connect I need him to

Plug in,

          Plug in operator."

 

A voice so free because it is traped in emotions.

Wishing I could release her from her heart- use mine instead,

But she'll refuse.

She wants one that works.

Hear her whisper...

 

"I'm in a lonely room,

Yet he sits by my side. 

His hands are within mine...

No connections"

 

Her tears are no longer dry moisting my neck- lips on my ear

 

"Its not enough for electrifying touches

Breath taking smiles

Heart stoping glances...

Im afraid soon we will die,

...

No emotions, mind

I dont think I want to walk away.

Connections...

Body, soul and mind"

 

She eases off back into her corner,

Staring into his face.

May be she'll find connection

(Chances are he'll fade away)

 

Connections?

              ... he'll have to plug in.

Plugging in, sometimes it is a good thing.

To be in love and want that beautiful connection with your lover. Love the title, great flow to a well written poem pouring with emotion.

[Rene Velez]

Stunning write...

[light and ashes]

I interpret this as a woman wanting to connect with her lover, through mind and spirit but all he can offer her is his touch. Maybe he does love her but, he is so damaged that he has to love her in his own way...maybe the love inside him is dead. Excellent poem, really enjoyed it very much :] Very nice insight, and I love the metaphor of the plug in, keep it up.

A amazing poem. Each line opening doors to questions and emotion. Sometime we must make decisions to connect of run? I like how you wrote this tale. Held me to the last words. Thank you for the outstanding poem.
