Shadow Hamilton Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

I read a poem on another site that was so soppy declaring undying love for a person they had never met

apparently this person is married. Call me old fashioned but for me marriage means marriage not playing around.

A Load of Codswallop

Oh my darling I met you on here
I will love you forever
never looking at another
you are my whole wide world.

Bah! what a load of cods wallop
dream on enjoy your fantasy
for if there's one sure thing 
it will all end in tears.

Love takes time to grow
if it is to last.
It needs nurturing
and time spent together.

What one gets on line
is just a flash in the pan
sweet talking words and 
maybe cam sex, are no go.

Love thrives on challenges
thrown up by everyday life.
You have to experience both
the good and definitely the bad.

Anything else is an illusion
although seeming sweet now
I have seen these internet affairs
that explode in wild passion.

Yet where are they six months later?
gone like a puff of wind
the canvas torn apart 
the illusion shattered.

Bah! its a load of cods wallop
a fantasy existing only in your mind
sweet at the time to be sure
but when it ends someone is in tears.

While their so called love
moves on to someone new
its all just a game 
and some play it so well.

Richard Lamoureux June 8, 2015 at 11:13 AM I agree, internet removes inhibition and accelerates a false intamacy. Great poem, 7! Shadow Hamilton June 8, 2015 at 6:55 PM ty Rick hugs

Constance La France May 23, 2015 at 9:03 AM Shadow, your poem describes something that happens all too often to the lonely or gullible, I know someone who had this on line love affair with a guy in another country for over a year, oh the romantic and beautiful emails back and forth, finally she took a trip to meet him and hated everything about him, apparently he could not put two words together in reality, this is a 7 for me and thanks for visiting my poem, words frozen. . .

Jan Allison May 22, 2015 at 7:12 AM I have seen the same type of thing Shadow falling in love with someone who you have never met and who may turn out simply to be a sham - who really knows who lurks behind the computer keyboard - wise words indeed:-) Hugs Jan xx 7 xx Shadow Hamilton May 22, 2015 at 7:09 PM such fools some of them Jan they believe in a pipe dream for it rarely lasts too often just a wind up by an insensitive person who thinks it is funny and shows any cam pics to their friends hugs
