My Lover: A Soliloquy

by Mildred Achoch - Leo

I've been told
I live in a castle
In the air.

Young and old,
The latter's hustle
And bustle
Leaves me bare.

Why should I care?
Why do I care?
Cupid's idea of a joke?

I am getting broke
Into a myriad
Of unrecognizable,
Unwanted pieces,
Each piece glittering
And shimmering
Because of his love,
The Sun.

I am the one
Lost in a period
Of hopelessness
And utter confusion,
Butterfly kisses
Always flying
Just out of my reach,
Which
Is quite unfortunate.

I've been infected with
Myopia.

Before it was anything but
Utopia.
Now it is everything BUT
Utopia.

(The Queen of Sheba
Is connected to 
Ethiopia)

Alas!Forever,
I will be connected
To Him.

Reason for writing:

    This poem was inspired by a comment made by someone very close to me. We were discussing (or rather arguing) about the cyber relationship that I was in at that time. She didn't think it was going to work out and thought that I was just building "castles in the air". The relationship itself was going too well because my 'cyber-lover' was not getting in touch with me as often as I would have liked him to. By the way, this guy was sixteen years older than me! So basically, this poem is about all the doubt and confusion that was going on inside me at that time.
