Back to reality,
Where I always was
But chose to ignore,
Instead dreaming
Of who you might be,
Wanting you
To be the missing half
Of me.

This cyber relationship,
Being able to sidestep
Real world conventions,
Mind to mind transmission
Without the usual
Checks and cautions of
Body to body communications,
The gaps in our knowledge
Filled by dream and fantasy.

Time passes,
Cyber time and clock time,
Our imaginations reach
A peak of ecstacy
And slowly fall, fall
Back into the everyday
Reality and
Without the nourishment
Of bodily truth
Recognises dream as dream,
Becomes tired, bored,
Melancholic
For what has passed
And slowly, slowly turns
Back to reality.
