Relations

What’s a relation

something as deep

as strange

Starts with curiosity

then comes an illusion

The other’s a perfect pretender

playing jokes

in a game we use to play 

What are we trying to hide

what’s so embarrassing

Fear and shame

guilt and loneliness

Those feelings guide us 

more than engagement

We felt lack of love

having sense of being comunicated

but there comes a moment in a day

when we need the caress 

and embrace of  a real person

Somebody who first

we’ve looked inside the soul

instead of the nakedness

There is no replacement

for a real hug or a kiss

Virtuality help us a lot

and it’s a chimeric vessel

but never ever

will  it be something better

than staring in sunset

sharing the moment

with somebody we have chosen.
