To The Stranger Who Writes Me Love Poems

This is a response to a poem an online friend wrote for me…

Like a phantom
oh, you haunt me
with your scribbled words of love
of passion lived in shadows
or perhaps in sky above
Your kiss is but a whisper
on my trembling, tender lips
Would that I could touch you
and manifest an earthly bliss
But you swirl and dance away from me
and you take with you your verse
so I stand here cursing God
and scream at the universe
