Intuits Interpretations

 

His how do you do was prim and proper

her shy hello came with an inward smile

that first message

 just a few sentences

a few lines of innocence

hello and good bye

glad to make your acquaintance

but something meshed

something just fit

a strange feeling

they had perhaps met before somehow

in another realm

another universe

another lifetime

they find themselves oddly drawn

unexplainably attached

(Attached  :adjective

joined, connected, bound)

by feelings unfamiliar

yet strangely familiar

same place same time

becoming a mutual aspiration

He finds himself lingering

hoping to catch a glimpse into her soul

she watches patiently

though eagerly awaiting his return

she cannot resist thoughts of his fingers

tapping ever so lightly across the  keyboard

him aroused by each carefully placed exclamation

unexpected desire

wondering what it would be like

to see the face behind the monitor

to be touched by longing fingertips

on the other side of the keypad

 the other side of their worlds

The chase, the charge

like a million volts

each electrified by this curious attraction

of someone they have never met

barricades are constructed

defense mechanisms in place

recognizing the dangers

while acknowledging

an unmistakable feeling

of heightened awareness

playfully but carefully choosing words

till metaphors dance around

 intended interpretations

and unintended sighs

  boundary lines drawn and balanced

the real story  though

in the spaces

between the lines

and the intuitus

interpretations

of words never spoken

A very sweet write, SR.

It's a tad amusing because I've totally fallen in love with someone whom I've never met.
I've experienced that connection 'in the spaces between the lines and the intuitus interpretations of words never spoken'. Unfortunately, we never did meet.

The stanzas are exciting, romantic and familiar. Loved this. :D

Thank you for reading Lola.. I am happy for you and have known a few couples that met online married now.. I hope all works out wonderful for you ..

My advice would be just be sure you have seen him in person and really KNOW him... I have known more then a few that have been totally taken in just to find out their Princess or Prince charming are really much older then they portrayed themselves ind in more cases then not and married.. xo shallimarRose

You're welcome, I enjoyed it. Thank you for your well wishes, SR. I ended up meeting a wonderful man and we're now married! He's pretty great. :)

Yes, there are so many scary stories out there. Have you watched, 'Catfish'; the movie and the MTV series? It's crazy how many people lie about their identities... xx

[shallimarRose]

No I have not seen it but I will look for it now... shallimar

Nicely done my friend. It does seem this way at times, like it used to be on the phone, BC (before computers), you would hear a voice, perhaps someone you would have contact with on a regular basis. You paint pictures in your mind of what they look like, your playful banter grows more and then you meet face to face and to neither set of eyes does the person standing in front of them even remotely resemble that mind picture. But...that is not always a bad thing. If the conversations are honest, then you already know what the person looks like on the inside. Very cool my friend.

[shallimarRose]

Thank you Jack... I introduces a couple on another site and now they are engaged.. It does happen.. Happy you enjoyed this and could relate in some small way.. xo Rose

[Pete Langley]

Fascinating....yes, there are subtle distinctions between meeting someone new online and face-to-face, aren`t there? ....no facial expressions, no eyes to read! ....how easy to get it wrong!...how easy to read messages that are or are not there! Enjoyable. P.

[shallimarRose]

Thanks for reading pete..... Sometimes we may not read things that are there or read something that is not.. You got this one.. Glad you enjoyed.. xo Rose

[Keith]

A clever & sentimental write. Cyberspace has become a common ground for finding love these days. Great illustration of that within your poem. Nice work. :)

[shallimarRose]

Thank you again for coming to read ""Brian"" right? I am happy to see you reading my work.

You're pretty good with guessing names. You can call me by that name or my writing name. Do you like the name Brian, I'm just asking out of curiosity. :)

[shallimarRose]

LOL Im not guessing Bri.. You told me your name but lately i have met so many new ones I am trying to keep the names straight in my book of who's who's... Yes I Ike the name Brian.. I will likely often call you Bry. tat is what i called my old friend Brian.. Bri or Bry I never know what to call myself when I sign... On all on ther sites I was always called shallimar and I loved that name.. For the last two years i was on a site that simply called me Rose... so I am kind of use to that also... who am I really ? lol heck if I know.. My name is Barbara but noone calls me that but family and a few very close friends.. xo

[B-poet]

I knew you would get a kick out of that. But who knows though you could've been guessing. LOL It's nice to get a good laugh in on this beautiful Friday. :)

[shallimarRose]

Have a lovely Weekend Brian.. xo

[AnnaLeQuinn]

Everything about this was beautiful and easy to relate to. Love the words you use and the images and feelings you arouse. Lovely rhythm and tone as well. Went perfectly with the Spanish guitar I'm listening too. Very romantic and sensual. Again a lovely write!! Thank you for making sure I get to see these. Grateful :-)

I like to think of myself as an intuitive person. I enjoy being around others who seem to share this gift. However, it can lead to unhappy knowing of people who are false.
In this world of disconnection in cyberspace, it is a matter of trust and consistency that allows any shadow of intuitive perception. Those who wish to be false can do so much better and far longer than they could if you could see their eyes, feel the temperature and tension in their handshake, see their posture and feel the energy in the room shift and flow...
Still, I am amazed at how like minds and like souls seem to find each other in this wide and tangled web we call the internet.
A fine write!

[shallimarRose]

I so agree with you David.. I have known several friends to get very hurt by women (and men) pretending to be something or someone they are not.. I dont get it really.. but I must say i also know of at least four couples that connected online and are now happily married.. It does happen.. thanks again.. xo shallimar

A very good write about the beginning of a cyber-relationship. Heartfelt and romantic. Lovely depth of feeling. Good word choice as is the use of repetition for emphasis of feeling. A good read. Well penned. Write on!

[shallimarRose]

Thanks Shelley... Glad you enjoyed.. xo

[ShelleyA]

You're welcome. Have a great day!
