Hate and desire

Poem Commentary

I wonder how many other people spend endless hours in front of the computer without anything to show for the time. I know I spend way too much time with nothing to show but lost life I will never be able to reclaim back.

Hate and desire

Afar I hear your beautiful humming

Beating as addictions drumming

Your light lights up the other room

Breaking through the darkened gloom.

 

I love you with all my heart

But I hate you enough to tear you apart

You allow me to be anything I desire

Sparking any chosen desire.

 

My addiction to you is tantamount

To binary numbers in endless count

No more than an artificial life

Making love to you more than a wife

 

Life more active before we connected

Now my time is idly infected

You are my hated most loved pet

Of course I’m talking about the internet

It's really a black hole for time, and i loved the way that you related it to a woman. The relationship at the beginning makes the reader think of a lover, then a wife, then a mistress, so that when you reveal it is the internet is is the hook, line and sinker so to speak. Love your work. Write on...................tempestlady

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
