A Cyber Lament

Ah Microsoft Word you tempt me As I lay across my keyboard wrapped In a red wine haze My fingers lingering over the letters Caressing the ‘L’ for ‘Love’ You speak to me silently Tantalise me Trip me up why don’t you? Trick me into spelling out a line Which will come back in later times To haunt me Red wine words bleeding soft across your page Dripping slowly down the screen Drip Drip Drip Your ever seeing eye Seeing me Seeing me Like nobody else Hearing my thoughts Like nobody else Bringing me the world Here, in my fashionable room Here, in this cold grey city The rain drips down my window pane Again Again Again Like the blood red wine Relentlessly scalding me Scolding me Hold me Hold me Holding me in your unblinking gaze The rabbit caught in the headlights Standing, bedazzled Not knowing which way to run So just standing, standing, standing. There are warm memories melting through my Red wine haze Lucky days Indian days and lazy days And loves won and lost And life goes on running in rivers Of Red wine.
