I have liquid dreams about you,
watching your face appear
in a smoky haze,
I would enthrone you as my noir lover,
if I did not know you would balk
at the offering.

You were never born to be King
however I might adorn you,
laurel leaves upon your head,
hanging bones around your neck,
I would exalt you.

It is beyond you to be debonair
however I dress you within my mind,
but I like to think of you
smoking cigarettes in bed
amid the tangled sheets and naked limbs.

If only you could be my paper doll lover
but you never learned how to dance the tango,
the predatory instinct is absent in your eye,
and you remain placid but troubled,  
stranded in an in between that is too great a compromise.

You never learned to hone the killer's instinct
and you stubbornly evade falling prey,
so what is to be done with you?
If I run you will not chase, and if I hide you will not seek,
if I push you will push back but half-mockingly
with exasperation in your eyes.

You remain unapproachable  
as distant as a statue,
when I touch you
you are cold,
and I most provide all the fire
but you refused resolutely to be warmed,
though your mind I may devour,
earnestly you spill it over
your body remains beyond my touch,
and your heart is a puzzle box that I cannot solve.

I like this poem too. You've captured the essence of many modern-day relationships, including some online ones. I really enjoy your writing!

I like this a lot, it reminds me of my own experiences, people seem so detached these days even when they have love staring them right in the face

Thank you very much. Yes that is quite true. All this new technology does not help. People just get so absorbed in their own little worlds they do not always grasp the real life in front of them.

I actually wrote one of my final papers for a class this last spring about just that, I'm glad someone else sees that besides me :) It's a blessing and a curse we are closer then we have ever been and yet farther away now from each other than ever before, it's a double-edged sword :)

Yes, though it is funny how these tendencies reoccur. A similar think happened with the industrial revolution. Though people were brought physically closer together, moving more and more into the cities and an urban environment, and living in closer proximity, but beginning to feel a greater sense of isolation and detachment from each other than before.

History does tend to repeat itself wether we want it to or not :)
