Blissful Ignorance
by foxinsox

 Keep away from me with your
Kind eyes
Kind words
Kind hands
I don’t want to know
How your day has been
Get away from me with your
Gentle smile
Gentle voice
Gentle ways
I don’t want to know
What makes you laugh.
Stop trying to trick me with your
Soft touches
Soft whispers
Soft promises
I don’t want to know
That you care for me
Ignorance is bliss.

Breaking Down The Barriers
by azaleababe  ©

 

a wall lies within me
invisible to the outside world
brick by brick, I built it up
until it entirely consumed me
I couldn't reach the top
I couldn't get out
until a flaw appeared
brick by brick, it started crumbling down
because I showed, felt, knew love
maybe someday it will fall down completely
until then, you'll be here
showing me you truly care.

Bridging The Gap
by Hope
©

 Bridge the distance
Please hurry, quick
Here side by side
With just one click

Here I am waiting
I’ve saved a place
Sit here beside me
Fun in cyberspace

With picnic basket
I’ll bring some wine
Spend a few hours
To relax and recline

Sit back in the seat
No need for a car
Enjoy the scenery
No distance too far

A trip to the cabin
With a cosy log fire
Beaches at sunset
What do you desire

Hope’s hideaway
I’ll email the map
This is your friend
Bridging the gap!!

Burn
by Swashbuckler
©

   Time after time
The moth returns
Neither reason, nor rhyme
Can salve that burn

On a tumble of the dice
We gamble, never to learn
Hedging truth against lies
Bet it all on that burn

Putting our hearts on the table
Praying for Jacks or Queens
But revealed under the label

Only shattered remnants of dreams

No more chips to cache in
But the gambler still yearns
Despite our respective thrashin's
Can't escape that burn

Time after time
The moth returns
Neither reason, nor rhyme
Can salve that burn

Caller
by trixiefirecracker

Lost

Confused
Alone in the darkness
Nowhere to turn
No one to run to
Trapped in the wasteland that was my life
Then you found me……….


You shone a ray of light
Into the darkness
And reached out to me

You showed me kindness
And understanding
You listened
And did not judge me
You took me for who I was
And did not try to change me
You gave me love
And asked for noting in return
You took away the darkness
And gave me light
You fulfilled me
And chased away my emptiness

Now there is no darkness
Only your light and your love
You have taken my life
And turned it around
You have inspired me to blossom
Into the person I am today
You have made me realise that there is more to life
And that I must reach up toward my goals

Had you not found me
Who knows where I would be
Somewhere lost in the abyss
Lost in the tangled mess that was my life
Sitting empty and alone
With no family and no love
Having pushed it all away with my stupidity

I will never find the words
To tell you how much I love you
And what you mean to me
You have brought warmth into my soul
And you love surrounds me
Without you there would be no reason
And the darkness would return to me

Caution...Chatroom Ahead
by *Snatch
©

Before going into chatrooms,
to find yourself a mate..
don't think romance is all that blooms
and find your wrong too late.

Be careful who it is you trust,
don't believe all you read.
Love can really be just lust,
planted like a seed.

Before you decide to meet,
someone met online one day.
Try to be somewhat discreet,
learn from what they say.

The chat rooms offer much,
discussing anything and all..
the only thing is, you can't touch
it's like a telephone call.

A voice is all you'll have and hear,
you still don't know what's real.
So it's best to have a little fear,
until you can touch and feel.

I think it's only fair and right,
to be honest about yourself.
Put facts upon your web site,
describing you to everyone else.

Watch out for the kids online,
pretending adult in chat.
Or you just might find,
you’re in trouble over that!

The woman who claims she's available,
that she's both single and free..
but couldn't meet, wasn't able
hides a husband you couldn't see.

Suppose you go into a chat,
with lust on your mind..
There's rooms just for that,
just look and you can find.

Cyber sex is all the rage,
on the Internet.
Desires freed from their cage,
without thought or regret.

The chat is there for you to use,
to find that which you seek.
But I suppose that's not news,
you read about it every week.

So before you believe in a fairy tale,
know exactly where your at..
You'll avoid certain hell,
that's also found in chat.
