Email Poetry

So, I've been writing poems again! Here are two that I wrote about the effect of email on a relationship.

Type Meaning (4-8-2010)

And the emotional yo-yo continues
Another day, another email
I think how wonderful you are
How you make my life so much better
But who knows what tomorrow holds
As your next email could bring me down
They certainly have before
And may bring me down again

I’m not sure you truly realize
How much of a control you have on me
Do you realize that I love you?
I really, truly do.
How I check my email relentlessly
Only for a returned correspondence
A glimmer of joy in a sad world
I wait for you to type meaning into my life


Ding! (4-8-2010)

Ding-happiness
Your words fill me
glowing on a vibrant screen
the false light illuminating love.

Ding-sadness
Your words crush me
a realization of untrue feelings
going back down into darkness.

Ding-nothing
Your lack of words
no mail of any feeling
this could possibly be worse.

Ding-sadness
Your problems, your words
friends only known to you
what about what was us?

Ding-unknown
Your next email coming
patiently I wait for it
through the sadness for joy.
