^{Romancing the Net 
"Seeds of Desire"
copyright©Twilite1998}

Waking up from a restless sleep,
desire quickly sweeps you off your feet
As quite so often since you‘ve met,
although you‘ve never  r e a l l y  met!
A coincidental conversation which started off with joking...
receiving answers, so cheerfully provoking.....

 "Hi there! Glad to see you back again“
"Same to you, though you drive me insane“
"In a bad mood and  nothing to do“?
"Private problems and feeling blue“
"Wish I was there to cheer you up“
"Cute idea, then I’d see you close-up"
"I often wonder how you look,
"what you do, and if you can cook“
"Cheeky fellow, of course I can cook,
but do prefer to read a book“
"My pots are decorating the xmas tree,
as I have no one to cook for me“
"I hope you don’t ever starve to death,
but think of me when you take your last breath“
"Then tell me some more about yourself,
I’ll then draw a picture to put on my shelf“
"I’ll send you one if you give your address.
I hope I can find one, as I have such a mess“
"Give me yours  and I’ll send you one too,
I don’t have to search, as I have quite a few“
"I would  prefer not to give you mine.
I’d then have problems with my husband sometime“
"Are you happily married at all?
Who can know what still lies in store?“
"Let’s change the subject to something new,
you know about me, but I nil of you“
"Go ahead and ask what you please.
I’ll tell you everything, ’cept  ’bout the fleas“
"Do you have someone living with you,
or still waiting for a dream to come true“?......

Days of joking and playing the fool
Cherishing moments, like children in school
You search for each other again and again
Therefore the search is never in vain
Only a bit of  harmless conversation....
not earnestly thinking of any duration
Hours and hours of sowing and sowing.....
planting seeds without really knowing.....
(strong desire secretly growing)......

Yearning sneaks in with a wicked grin
waiting to be filled like an empty bin
Private lives still partly hidden
Afraid to claim, afraid to be bidden

Happiness and pine, those children of desire.....
exchange  places, like moths about a fire
You wonder what s/he is doing right now...
will s/he have time,perhaps for an hour?
Is s/he  thinking of you?...
does s/he know you think of him/her too?
Deep inside,   a whisper ....... "YES“.......
Your heart flutters.....though it‘s only a guess

Dreams of  surrendering to yearning,if only for a day
More can’t be asked for .........come what may?
Amour's arrow has entered your heart ........
A romance condemned just right from the start......
Present lives with duties, no space for compromise....
No one to talk to, or ask for advice.
Continents between you...miles of empty space....
But life carries on,.. at unbearable pace

What did this coquette turn out to be?.......
A mischieveous game of destiny?

Afraid to give up the life you know.....
Neither this one,.....
nor the one you don’t know........
