Conjured Love
I cannot quite explain it
Logic will not contain it
These things that I feel
Seemingly somehow real
But how could this be true
When I hardly know you
Your words in lovely ink
Photo that does not blink
Those lips are left un-kissed
A closeness that is missed
For in your thoughts is found
My wanted holy ground
Absence does not dispel
Found heart that loves so well
And I think that I would cry
If I looked into those eyes
Though we have never met
I cannot quite forget
The beauty of your mind
So hard a thing to find
For I have seen deeper things
A razor wit, a soul that sings
Could you find the same in me
When distance denies destiny
Can I fall in love from here
Never having held you near
Or is this all just fantasy
Conjured love I wish would be

Take it from my experience – it’s easy to fall in love if someone is who we think they are, but words on a screen will always be what we choose to put forward at our best and never who the person behind them truly is. I’ve fallen ‘in love with who I think you are’ more than once, but always come to find out that a person is never going to be our mind’s concept of who we want them to be. Enjoy the wonder of another’s words nonetheless.
Thanks sis!
it may be easier to fall in love with the idea of someone vs the reality.
your title reminded me of the song “Tainted Love”…
Very true, Jim! Now I have to go listen to that song. I love that song!
it is a great song…
The idea of love? Is that really love? Hmm…yes! I think so! Good work my friend!
Thank you, Francisco! All the best brother!
You’re welcome my brother! All the best!
Excellent!
Thank you Geoff!
The problem with online relationships is that one never knows if they’re dealing with something real or an illusion.
True that, Pete. Thank you!
I suppose this is where tryst comes into play, but the hopless romantic in me believes what is meant to be will always find its way.
Beautiful words as always, Brad! 😍 *Swoon*
Thank you pretty lady!
Dearest Brad I think this is such a gorgeous poem. Romantic love is a beautiful thing and one never really forgets it.
“Though we have never met
I cannot quite forget
The beauty of your mind
So hard a thing to find”
Your verses are so lovely an Ode to “Romantic Love.” I think as long as two people have faith and truth anything is possible.
Sending my love and big warm southern hugs. Jonikins ❤️🤗
Thank you Jonikins! 42 degrees this morning so those warm hugs are much appreciated! Sending love in return.
That is a bit chilly. I enjoy scarves and hat wearing weather. It is still hot here in the afternoon. So I am sending a hot air balloon filled with warm southern hugs, a years worth. I have always been a hugger and I have boxes of hugs that couldn’t be shared for the last year. So this should help you save on wood too. Love ❤️ Jonikins
