Screen Savor in Book of Lies.....

Has the world become so vacuous that our best friends are located within monitors and smart phones. Do we really care to look up anymore? When I wish to look away from these screens I want to go from down to straight away heavens above. The flesh of this planet seems to have gone to rot and desiccation. Our minds seem all that is left fighting the battle to salvage love and kindness. Our thinking processes seem immediately daunted when personal interaction is required. The mind becomes defensive. Wary. Doubting. Like a Gerbil in a room with a Badger. There is no place to fight. Escape the only plausible success strategy.
I still wish to touch your face and kiss your lips.... I wish to feel your fingertips.
But it seems these are fleeting pleasures and then comes questions, demands, disappointments, heartache, doubt, and despair.
I do not wish to be a blip on a screen but if do not wish to be a blood stain on the heel of a heartless shoe. We screw each other’s spouses and the spouses screw each other in court. We screw up our children while we ignore them screwing ourselves up all on our own. We criticize, over analyze, proselytize, compromise (our belief systems), ignore, abhor, and destroy what we prize and cherish.....
Lean close to the screen my beloved....

I want to kiss you on the lips
to feel your breath, your fingertips.
I wish to hear your thoughts and dreams,
I wish to quell your terrored screams.
I wish to be of something clear
to trust and then to hold you near
tis sad to know and then alas,
you hide yourself hind glowing glass
