Connection

Unable to relinquish my grasp
Yet unable to
maintain connection
The images were fading fast
Complications with
my selection
I grasp out into distance
The connection often lingers
Then the time just went so fast
You slipped right through
my fingers
I’ll go and rest
my arms awhile
There is always a tomorrow
Then with hands I will grasp
Some happiness ,
not sorrow

Shared Computer

It’s known as battling keyboards
When your partner shares the time
You both want to type at once
Each have friends that come online
We should write up some roster
That gives us time and space
So when not at the 'puter
We meet friends face to face
Sometimes I chat real late at night
My partner goes to bed
Then the roster changes round
It’s his turn online instead
The battles happened months ago
My partner gave up the fight
So in the day I still log on
Then I’m back again at night
- Hope
