a lover's mourn

created for the geeks poetry/story contest- very amusing to write!

>>To my beloved,

Oft' we have conversed in delightful discourse,
patient, dwelling and suspended in thought
Is the memory of you that I hold dearly to tonight.

Together-
we have raided the orc-fire temples of Warcraft,
Together,
we have pillaged precious torrents,
and been united with a diminishing sect of trekkies,
Together,
we have rebelled in daily social dysfunction
preferring the calm of our pixelated rapport.

It is you and I in this world,
To whom I pay tribute with this heart-felt serenade:
But suddenly a bright flash of white blinds me through the window,
I say, 'Romeo, Romeo....wherefore art thou?'
Your screen, impenetrable, confronts me darkly.

[troubleshoot]

This moonless night and shadowed fen (of a garden)
through which I now storm in reprimand,

The lightning flashes yet again- a movement catches my eye.
The swinging of a fuse box lid,
hanging open, gaping in dark mockery of my
heart's despair.

I cry in horror, it is without a doubt,
Indeed, the electricity is out.
