My Lover: A Soliloquy

I've been told

I live in a castle

In the air.



Young and old,

The latter's hustle

And bustle

Leaves me bare.



Why should I care?

Why do I care?

Cupid's idea of a joke?



I am getting broke

Into a myriad

Of unrecognizable,

Unwanted pieces,

Each piece glittering

And shimmering

Because of his love,

The Sun.



I am the one

Lost in a period

Of hopelessness

And utter confusion,

Butterfly kisses

Always flying

Just out of my reach,

Which

Is quite unfortunate.



I've been infected with

Myopia.



Before it was anything but

Utopia.

Now it is everything BUT

Utopia.



(The Queen of Sheba

Is connected to

Ethiopia)



Alas!Forever,

I will be connected

To Him.

A poem about long-distant relationships, older men, miscommunication, cyber-relationships...in short, a poem about love (or the lack of it!)

what a talent you have this is just a masterpiece.... I am getting broke ... (happens to me all the time) unrecognizable unwanted pieces.... man... that breaks my heart... I know this feeling so well... we start out wanting one thing out of a relationship... then the next thing you know... we have become the very thing we hate in others..... and to me when that happens I do feel unrecognizable and unwanted... by even myself.... does that make sense...LOL... anyway... this one hit me right between the eyes... and deep in my soul....
