When a lover words are not true . They can be felt even on the screen


Poem Artwork

Dancing With Shadows 

 

His words shimmer on the screen
Subtle shades of deception
Dancing with shadows
But only in dreams

 


Heart held in check
Words flow not from the heart
From some place inbetween
In the space between spaces

 


Feelings enter my mind
Are not true to him
Words used to make me surrender
But not a love forever

 


Then he is gone
Shimmers leave my screen
Only hope I have
Is still within a dream

Sad and lovely~I would guess that you are writing of online romance which is iffy at best yet still doesn't negate the fact that we learn to care for an unknown behind that shimmering screen~A very moving piece~

I liked the italic text...as it gave the illusion of shimmering on the screen. The poem, also, was artfully done.

How very painful ... too many will relate to this piece, beautifully written from the heart. Hugs, Elizabeth

Wow Kathy this is so exceptionally intense and sadly all too true...romances seem to have a habit of flaring up and going out only to flare up again on the internet. The rules of love went out the window and most of us just feel our way in the dark of those spaces between the lines as you so nicely put it.
