Love on the internet
**********************************
Woke up from a nightmare, still
on the sofa
she said to herself, I really
ought to
do something relaxing, something
different
like chatting to people on
the internet.
So she rose to her feet and
made herself tea,
than sat to connect through
the mIrc,
while her modem was dialing
her server,
a rash of excitement run through
her.
From all over the world, people
connect
to talk to each other on the
internet,
To escape their reality, escape
every day's life,
forget the ex-husband, forget
the ex-wife.
She sat there quietly, watching
her screen,
watching words and gimmicks
floating by with a grin,
until a magical thing has happened,
on her screen a new window
opened.
This window inquired, with
a plea,
would you accept a DCC chat
from Gypsy,
with a nick name like Gypsy
she couldn't say no,
she accepted the call, she
wanted to know.
Where is he from, and why is
he here,
what is he like, she wanted
to hear,
till daybreak they chatted,
for 3 hours long,
his words filled her screen
like a poem, a song.
She told of herself, her troubles,
her sorrows,
laughing at her yesterdays
and tomorrows,
he spoke of himself, of things
in his past,
she felt that she found her
soul mate, at last.
Two people who just met, from
two different worlds,
were painting towns and sunsets
in purples and reds,
imaginary camp fire, down at
the beach,
frying potatoes, telling stories
each.
The nightmare forgotten, the
sadness has gone,
just her and her Gypsy are
dreaming alone,
morning sun lit the skies up
above,
something is happening, could
it be love?
