across oceans via servers

Across oceans via servers they spoke

From their bedrooms through their fingers

Heart driven messages growing in love

Rising in intensity shrinking the globe



Onto the plane destination uncertain

Reading vacantly as the cramped hours crawled

Fasten your seatbelts we are descending and then

Through customs with only apprehension to declare



Webcam didn’t do her justice her eyes or her figure

In the flesh much prettier a beauty to behold

In his hand were the roses as blushed as his cheek

His heart pounding and his collar too tight



Coffee by the water sweetened with shyness

We will both have a salad yes thanks that is all

Meals barely touched through long awkward silence

Fingers entwined and so did their eyes



Across the pillows they spoke

From their hearts love came spilling

As each embraced their future their fortune

And their soul
