Notes About The Poem

I'M In Love With Your Avatar

My heart beats,
a rhythm that never stops.
“I love you,”

From far away I hear her reply:
“Do you?”

Yet thousands of miles separate us.
I only see your avatar.
I do not know exactly what you look like.
Still my heart echoes:
“I love you.”
Oh, that I could kiss that lovely face!
That I could hold you in my arms!
That I could make love to you!

I can almost see her smile.
“You don’t love me.
You only love my avatar.”

Valsa George July 3, 2022 at 2:37 AM Love doesn't need bodily presence, it can flourish even in the very thoughts. Enjoyed this poem imbued with deep passion , dear Victor!

M. L. Kiser July 22, 2021 at 9:21 AM Oh boy, in love with the avatar, what a predicament. Clever penning.

Beryl Edmonds July 22, 2021 at 7:45 AM I guess it’d be easy to fall in love with an avatar who has captured one’s heart. It can’t be for their looks, they go unseen, but for what’s read between the lines of a poetry king or queen…… A fantastic write Victor ~ Belle

Jennifer Proxenos July 20, 2021 at 11:56 AM Such a clever poem and so apt in today's techno/cyber world. Great write my friend. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Delice Arleen Skelly July 20, 2021 at 10:25 AM The digital age has reduced us to a colony of avatars...with the odd photograph...quite sad really....Delice

Evelyn Judy Buehler July 19, 2021 at 12:17 PM LOL! One of the many dilemmas of the computer age. A fun poem, Victor. Maybe millions of years from now, long distance romance will mean from planet to planet. Best wishes, Evelyn :D

Unseeking Seeker July 19, 2021 at 10:02 AM How true! Never mind gender and age! Symbols make hearts nimble!

Paul Callus July 19, 2021 at 8:48 AM Those avatars can be very tricky, Victor! Perhaps it would be best to first fall in love with her poetry. ~ Regards // paul Victor Buhagiar July 19, 2021 at 8:54 AM Maltese examinations would define this as Reductio ad absurdum. How can anyone fall in love with an avatar?

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart July 19, 2021 at 8:33 AM Giggle inducing poetics enjoyed! Warm hugs dear vb, xomo!

Joanna Daniel July 19, 2021 at 7:58 AM Ha ha, I love that avatar too:) humorous and fun:) I agree with Vijay:)

Vijay Pandit July 19, 2021 at 5:56 AM You have great talents, Victor, to feel the unseen and read the unsaid. Splendid use of imagination.

Sotto Poet July 19, 2021 at 3:58 AM It's tough to evaluate merely an avatar person, Victor. When I think about what people enjoy and hate, and if they are harsh or kind, my imagination becomes wild because you never know what you're going to get. I think it is great to wander on the part of love since the world does need more of it.

Line Gauthier July 19, 2021 at 1:55 AM Beautiful, Victor ~ I think it's beautiful to err on the side of love ~ there's not enough love in the world

Judy Ball July 19, 2021 at 1:07 AM Too cute Victor. This gave me a chuckle. I have to agree with Tom here and also with Forest Gump who said, "Life is like a box of chocklates, you never know what you're gonna get." God Bless, JB

Eve Roper July 18, 2021 at 10:46 PM It is so hard to judge the person by an avatar. Myself, my imagination runs wild wondering what are their likes ,their dislikes, are they mean or are they gentle. ?????????????? Hugs Eve
