Connecting

Collaboration with La Lorena. Again L, you are an absolute joy to create with! An interactive poem, sharing our experience of online relationships. So come on guys, where do we go from here?

Collaborations are common, let's make a Writer's Cafe first
Let's write a romance poem, day to day, and verse by verse
In the time we've known each other, our poetry has spoken
Now let's share the words between us, and the feelings we've awoken

 

First reviews connected, both curious for more
Then others' read requests were suddenly a chore
Shared views emerged on a vast array of things
Emotions effervescing, our souls grew wings

 

I came here seeking clarity, to write to ease my mind
to meet a kindred spirit, the last thing I'd hoped to find
But I came across your profile, and the smile just reeled me in
the first review was mine I think, and thus it did begin

It's instinctive soul-food, to feel 'connected' we all crave
Subconscious yearnings behind those first reviews we gave
But what's the game on this Writers Cafe, 'connected' how?
Aroused in mind and emotion, but not 'the here and now'

Now we're no hapless teenage lovers with only hormones raging

there's hesitance and uncertainty, borne of experience and aging

Let's proceed with caution, slowly dip our toes into the tide

who knows where this may lead us, but we're game to take the ride

Words flowed so easily, our first liaison by the sea

Spirits soared in synchronicity, like it's meant to be 

On here we've no duties or commitments stopping us

We fulfill our fantasies with minimum of fuss

But will such passion survive when lifted from the screen?

When virtual must get real, will our ardor be so keen?

Can any such intensity stay fervent, but remote?

Well it's up to you dear readers, it's time to take a vote

Author's Note

Basic idea is an ongoing interactive poem, sharing ours' and readers' experiences of online relationships. So come on guys, where do we go from here?

It is true all the love making potion brewed in this cafe keeps me
awe struck and falling down at the amazing feat of passionate
nightingales that always seem to be standing where rainbows
touch down into the ink pot leaving me with the itch to dance
like a dervish and fall in love every day!

Impressive metering and intermingling~

From here... Where would an actual online relationship go from here? I don't know.
Anyway, it was an amazing poem. I actually read this three times. I love it. >_<
Amazing work you two.
