The Electronic Love Affair

He walks in the cold and the dark
His hand caressing the little light
His electronic device forever near

Like a man in love
Nothing else is seen or heard
His desire so strong
To check, to see something,
Anything

The hard, cold screen
Gives no warmth for his cold hands
It answers not his silent cry
His loneliness intense
As he engages with this mistress

There is a man with fiery eyes
He knocks inside a door
Hidden in a deep place
Within the man’s breast
To engage with Him
Now that would be a change

If only he could put it down
Close his eyes and look
To find a Lover that is true
But his electronic mistress
Has gripped him in distraction
And he recognizes not the
hungry desire in him for more

To know HIM who could
set him on fire
True love and happiness would be his
Alas he will never find them
Unless he turns from the idol he caresses with his fingertips

So for now
He walks alone in the dark
But the fire longs
To be set alight within him
To burn him up with
Eternal LOVE.
