Which Are We

my cyber romance 
is it hope or is it a dream
hope is a posibility 
and a dream is an imposible thing
hope means your willing to try 
something for which you may even die
but a dream is something that sometimes just drifts by
a figment of our imagination
where as hope has a destination
a dream satisfies our daily lives
it occupies our mind with lies
seeing things with the inner eye
escape from bordoms paralised
to enjoy the little things we choose
with the one our lust would  use
satisfy our restless minds
with a dream that takes our time
and makes it into something not there
faces, wishes, love affairs
but hope is a thing that lives
more than just a dream it gives
it produces an opportunity to earn
to seek the obtainable not just yearn
my cyber romance
are these words of hope just a dream

Love is cyber space can be an illusion and it can fill a void in your life for a while. I think when reality comes in to play you must meet that person to know if it is real or not. love phyl

Good one John...One has to get together with that cyber space person at some time to really know if it is the real thing.I wrote one about "Internet Love Affair" but I was really talking about being in love with the net itself....Sara

Dear John, your poetry just continues to get more and more profound. How true it is that "hope...produces an opportunity to earn...not just yearn." I have tried to find love in cyberspace and find myself lost in illusions. People often misrepresent themselves. Excellent writing, my friend. Love, Carolyn
