Never Have We Met


Never have we met
In the flesh,
Nor ever shall--
Or so we guess.

No, never have we met,
Save in a flood of posts
In which, to our surprise,
So much pours out.

Yet let us not demean
These words on a screen
Without which our two hearts
Had remained forever apart;

And remaining thus apart,
Had never grown a part--
Not even the smallest part--
Of each the other.

So let us never say,
Whatever the future bring,
Whatever it is we have
Didn't mean a thing.

No, let us never say
Come what may,
"It didn't mean a thing";
It cannot be so mean a thing!

But way leads on to way;
And if one day we chance to say,
"It didn't mean a thing," I pray
We will not really mean it.

Never have we met
In the flesh,
Nor ever shall--
Or so we guess...

Lawrence Beck The PoetBay support member heart!
Weird, haphazard rhymes, not a scheme at all, but I like it. Nicely done, Rob.
