Mi Amore!

A crazed on-line secret admirer.

A shadow
admires from afar
A black widow
spins a digital web
A mind
born of the dark
The voices
speak in the red

A flame
burning in silence, echoes
Tidal waves
reaching for wanting shores
The cries
coming from a heart-stringed cello
Her voices
whisper, "Mi amore!"

Creeped me out and definitely sent shivers down my spine. An all-too-real situation for many. Hope it's not actually happening to you :( Long distant love relationships are highly dodgy and you never quite know who they are as they present an image you want to see. In everyone I believe there is a balance of dark and light and without dark, we cannot see or appreciate light. The question for me is what's the trigger to send someone over the edge? Excellent writing and a convincing scenario that I don't ever wish to know ! Penny

Well it's not happening now, but it did happen. Psycho comes to mind. I mean I like a woman with a dark mind lol, but not like this. I appreciate your words, beautiful. :)

"A shadow admires from afar"
"A flame burning in silence"
These are my favorite lines. Loved the way you have projected the situation of a one sided love where the other person is oblivious to the advances.

[Chris Micha]

Wow thanks so much Annabella! I really appreciate that. :)

[Anita Singh]

You are welcome, Christian . :)

[Chris Micha]

Yes they exist, I'm one of course. Thanks I'm glad you like it. It creeped me out writing it and remember it.

[Ghost of Jupiter]

[Natalie Dieudonne]

The cries
coming from a heart-stringed cello
Her voices
whisper, "Mi amore!"

That line really intensified the creep factor.

[Chris Micha]

You're welcome :)

Well I certainly know how this feels, the problem is that I was the obsessive one a lot of times...that's how it is when you're a loner but that's a whole other story. You've presented this situation with as much vividness as it could be presented with...it reads very much like a warning...love the heart-stringed cello as well...nicely done Christian :)

[Chris Micha]

I really appreciate the love! I'm sure you're not a loner; besides it has its advantages. :)

[Frieda P]

Eerie Christian, you made my goosebumps have shivers, you just never know, love the 'heart-stringed cello' sounds ominous. Well done! :)
