CYBERSPACE

CYBERSPACE

Unseen the two of this fandango
Held apart this distanced tango
One sees not the other there
Yet to oblivion they both stare
What could be? Or what cannot
They ponder long upon their lot

Much stronger now the feeling grows
Each taking care that nothing shows
Unguarded smiles are now taboo
Euphoric spasms must subdue
And yet the path they know so well
Will pass by the gates of abject hell

Both entrapped by some former life
Allegiance owed to husband’s wife
But yet to think what might have been
As hormones rise to mix the gene
So far apart they will not meet
Upon the stones of desire street

No comfort wrung from a lovers touch
No minds eye vision held as such
Each lives in the ether of the others thought
On a kindness ready to be bought
To seek the solace of the word
In cyberspace where it can’t be heard
