Poem 70

in-bed-on-computer-300x232

You are often with me

When I’m sitting in bed.

Our topics

The simpliest things.

The weather

Life

Kids

The why

The what fore.

Some days we argue

Points of ,

‘This isn’t clear.’

‘Rewrite’

‘Oh I see’.

Most days we laugh

Our colloquialisms

Our peculiar idiom

Our words on a page

Our connection.

Will we be so communicative

Face to face?

When you will see my eyes

My grimace

My hands at play

My laugh

My smile

Me.

    Reblogged this on Ēva PōeteX and commented:
    For the next few days, I’ll just be doing reblogs of poems I find to be profound. I’ve been sick in bed and can’t gather up the energy to write much. What I like about this poem is the simplicity until the very end. “Rewrite
    Oh I see”
    That moment makes the whole poem.

    When meeting someone face to face after talking to them online is always a bit scary. I loved this poem though. Honest.

    I have met two. One which you know, AnElephant, who is indeed my favourite pachyderm as he is as great in person as he is in net form. A definite nice guy, and Ute. I was nervous about meeting the pair of them. They are both really nice and I worried over nothing.

    I don’t think you have anything to be worried about either. You will be fine 🙂

    Oh how exciting! Trust your gut feeling. Over a period of time you just somehow know and operate on another level. Magic happens. Oh the wonders of cyberspace! 🙂

  9. an interesting poem Michael, how easy it is to put feelings and thoughts on paper but possibly more difficult to speak face to face …and want to know something …I don’t bite 🙂

  10. Totally love this and it can be related to many virtual friendships/relationships. Good luck on your meeting. I may meet one blogger on my trip to Toronto next week (oh this week in your territory)
