Lovers Caught In the Modern World

LOVERS CAUGHT IN THE MODERN WORLD Culture keeps us safe Until it fades Family keeps us warm When we need shade— Techno worlds are brash And spit out Texting love-- word loss makes hearts clash Gives lives a shove spring roses turn to ash Leaves lovers wondering Is this life complete-- Leaves dreamers listless-- stills lovely dancing feet Blaze the path wayward lover Create new words delicate something each fragile lip can say Lovers toss skin Naked standing shedding Naked Blood to bone And, amidst the fog Stand Dazed, Perplexed-- Lose their will to roam Fearfully Refuse to Leave the safety of Their natural home. Blaze the path wayward lover create new words delicate something my fragile lips can say Victoria Anderson Throop Dec 25, 2012 © Juja, Kenya
