The Flame
Slow motion starts the day
Bound within a character string
Yearning heart’s full of longing
Hungering for a passionate thing
The Game is played with glitches
Sought out by lovelorn fools
No warning to those who enter
Even fools play by the rules
The lonely seeks acceptance
Refusing embedded gloom
Waiting for a stable connection
Anxious from within their room
Caught within a server stream
Captcha is Freedom’s key
Life’s anthem is not so wretched
Enticing those to dream
Emoticons the voice of Passion
Words quickly wrote in simple text
Digital lust has lost its luster
The plan is made for what’s next
———————————————
Forbidden
So it was said
That fruit was forbidden
Yet we plucked the morsel from the tree
So it was said
That love was forbidden
Yet we sought for desire
So it was said
The serpent would deceive
Yet we hungered for council
So it was said
That it is all or nothing
Yet we're all a vacant shadow
So it was said
Love should be this
Yet we all live a lie
