IS IT LOVE?
Across the countless miles of sea
Umbilical wizardry
Wires connecting you to me
Bring you in close proximity
Of my heart
Separated as we are
We huddle close although afar
We hug in the vernacular
Share laughter that we never hear
Love though apart

So, I love you and you love me?
But can we call ourselves a ‘we’?
Tell me - can we really be
Soul mates: - the perfect company
That loving is?
Is it Love then - if its place
Is confined to cyber space,
Never meeting face to face,
Not once having felt the touch or taste
Of a lover’s kiss?
