Notes About The Poem
For: Eight Words Poetry Contest
Sponsor: Joseph May

Your Absent Heart

Are you synthetic?
Your synapses seem
to emanate
computer code.

No emotion swirling
around your existence,
no rustic vibes 
of simplicity. 

I crave the timeless
story of passion,
not the illusion
of perfection.

I want to blossom
in the beating music of life,
but I hear only the silence
of your absent heart.
