WORDS LIKE SWEET LIPS

In the era of constant flux, mastering the art of loss,

Each twist of fate, a digital tale,

Where shadows flicker amidst chaos

She got the white bedsheets 

you got the lost heart 

She gives and she takes

and you are lost

Daily, I surrender to the rush and toss,

Lost keys and wasted time, a modern travail

Mastering loss in this digital gloss

Words like sweet lips

Further I drift, speedily across,

Forgetting names, places, without fail

No catastrophe in this digital dross

Into me and i come beautiful into you

Touch lips, forget my worries for you

I often crash and forget my worries

Mother's watch slips, a memory at loss,

Homes fade away, in the virtual veil

Mastering loss in this digital gloss

if one is one and two begs three

my haste, holding my heart close

baby, I come for you 

Cities fall, realms dissolve, at a click's toss,

Rivers dry, continents in email

Yet not a crisis, nor a digital dross

Even in losing you, our virtual gloss,

Your texts and memes, a fleeting trail

Mastering loss in this digital gloss,

Where disaster and beauty in pixels emboss

Always, if i am overboard and in haste

i hold close, you come and hug me 

always like words dug up to speak for me

it's like words

And sweet lips.

To me this is talking about virtual reality. Living life mainly in the digital world and in there, life is comfortable and more forgiving even loving but unfortunately it’s not real and often is photoshopped to be perfect even though the ones in the real world have flaws. To me the flaw in the real world are what make us stand out and many times it is exactly what makes us beautiful.

Insightful and thought provoking poem. All the time spent online and many times almost living life there. It really made me think.

To me this is life in the digital world...everything seems to become faster and less personal...even love...we seem to be less human, digital feelings....everything is split unequally...we live in pixels ..."even in losing you our digital gloss"...."mastering loss in this digital gloss"....it almost makes me feel inhuman....maybe this is a spoof on the digital world? very well written, like it a lot!
Warmly, B
