the never was

* the never was *

It was never to be
On different continents we existed
In different worlds we moved
Our thoughts together only on electronic page
Sharing our sensuality
Our powerless rage
Against an unequal world
Commenting on mundane life
Detailing crisises large and slight
The space between we could never close
Would take a multi-continental flight
So we kept sharing though we sat
On extremities of time zones
Edge of emotional war zones
No Man's land of email
Where responses we colour
With own desires and wantings
Make our imperfections diminish
Moved by politeness to agreement
For conversation was so lush
Crucifying ourselves in belief
Chosen one across distance resided
Till actual life brought us back
Showed riches here not there
A lag developed
Then responses missed
The what we had never was
And so disconnecting will never be.
