Virtual Paradise. Poem by Fay Slimm
Virtual Paradise.
Alongside the real is the virtual world.
Paradise realised, now proudly unfurled.
A new race of people, brought by machine
Brightening lives by technology's dream.
Phantom-like friendships, developing by
Tenuous air-waves aloft in the sky.
Producing connections which always meet
With response, - this on-line, unseen retreat
From everyday life makes a life of it's own.
Brings magical change from being alone.
Spectral soul-mates can appear from thin air
Made by transmitted message wrought with care.
Virtual heaven appears on earth's scene.
Mirage's marriages, - never quite being
But moon-shine reality, yet they provide
Real feelings of love no-one can deride.
Miraculous virtual paradise
Invents a contentment - - but is there a price?
Fay, I love the thought and the wording on this. 'Mirage's marriages' is exquisite. A definite 10
Well said Fay, you meet wonderful friends from all over the world, the things that divide us are all forgotten in the virtual world, the love of poetry and open heart... Andrew 10
i juggle both worlds, though they are eons apart my poetry's in one that's close to my heart the other takes its toll, between work and subsistence i can slip between them without any resistance Thank you my online, switched on, cybermate! regards from the two of us

Yup... there's always a price, Fay. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is! A masterly poem from one of Poemhunters' maestros.
