Chat Room Love

by Cardiyac   Jul 31, 2008


Distant lover across the fiber optic waves
how eloquently your words validated my existence
when we first met I didn't understand you
you and your abbreviated descriptions
that were hard to decipher like pharmaceutical prescriptions
written by foreign physicians
made possible by mathematical encryptions
your exquisite diction soothed my soul like tea by Lipton
I ccouldn't wait to log-on and see if you'd be there
my password set to be remembered automatically
so as to not waste precious time navigating keys
those on home-row or above and below
I was in search of a friend, someone who'd understand me
and accept me for more than just my looks
tired of the 'real world' for treating me so unfairly
but you, you wanted to spend time with me
you never complained that I was clingy
we never argued about where I was and who I was with
because you were there and I was here
and love without expectation was free
and I was free to be me, as I am
and that's why I love you

    Amazing, these four lines stand out from all the rest:

    you and your abbreviated descriptions
    that were hard to decipher like pharmaceutical prescriptions
    written by foreign physicians
    made possible by mathematical encryptions

    I love your word choice, the way each line flows with ease to the next, each end of line rhyme suited the next and was in keeping with the poems theme.

    Well done here.

    Nice poem, someone who actually uses big words and descriptive writing.
