A message in a bottle on the binary sea
I was thinking about how we're all looking out across the internet. We are alone on our islands looking for something. Some of us are lucky(or not) enough to have lost love/lust somewhere out there doing the same. I imagined the many people that have much the same longing that I do.
My idea was that we could all send a sort of message in a bottle across the binary sea of the internet so that there was at least a chance it would reach someone who feels the same way and maybe some comfort can be gained in a shared burden.
Feel free to comment about any part or contribute a message yourself.
Standing at the edge of the great binary sea, I seek you. Wrapped in the warmth of your memory the chill that drifts across forever is impotent against its loyalty. A mirage I see with a hope of what it is not, having tasted defeat in abundant supply. I resolve to never forsake your memory by admitting the aching it causes my heart.
I chase the mirages through the darkness, never tasting the joy of their sensation as they are granted life with each frame. Lifeless corpses animated only by light's reflection of a time I once knew.
Exauhsted, I drift back to my island. I am alone, but not in my desire. A thousand upon that many still drift back to their islands across the great binary sea. We know more pleasure in mirages than any moment of truth, always what we want them to be, yet never quenching our flesh. The islands that will always be our tactile prisons save us from the destruction that we hastily rush to.
I am the moth and you the flame my love. No destruction was ever more welcome than with each new sunrise. Your mirage will fade, a spectre of the pleasure in my dreams. I weep as if the pain of being without you will drain from me somehow. Only my youth leaves me,but never my resolve to remember you my love.
I will desire the mirage of my hope anew with each flicker of light,each reflection of sensation in my memory. Till the time when no new sunrise is due to spoil the vision. Eternity will grant me my wish. Adrift forever, I will dream only of you.
--Dedicated to Tami, adrift somewhere.

Oke doke,
Am I just insane?
Or is it just melancholy.
I swear I don't have people in my freezer

Re: A message in a bottle on the binary sea
Really,it's just simile.
I like to write descriptively. It feels like painting a picture with words. I get emotional once and a while and I need an outlet. I just figured there were others like me out there.

Re: A message in a bottle on the binary sea
Ihave yet to find the one that I can make that final connection with,so my bottle floats on...and....on.. I'm sure,one day it will get plucked from the sea before the cap begins too leak and it sinks into the abiss forever.Who knows it may wash up here, on the on the sandy beaches of WebNaughty,and be found by one of our lovely members..
Optimism is such a wonderful thing...

I meant to say to not be too picky and miss pleasure altogether. There is always more perfection in fantasy but we can't aquire it whether it's past or present.
Be hopeful though. I have been there.

Re: A message in a bottle on the binary sea
Again I find myself adrift on the sea of love. My ship has sailed and again I am left standing at the pier, hoping to glimpse the sail on the horizon upon its return. Tears drip from my eyes, and stain my blouse as I await the return of love, never knowing for sure if love will return at all.
I find solace in chocolates and in tea, looking for my answer in the concentric rings reaching for the edges of my cup, my tear drops flavouring the beverage with a saltine bitter taste.

Re: A message in a bottle on the binary sea
You without love?
A goddess who would beg for just a moment of mortality to know imperfection?
AHH! Perhapse a time for not loving but I am skeptical if there was ever a time you were not adored my queen.
A woman with Penthouse-like pretending-woman-on-woman-cunnilingus in her pictures is sad sometimes?

Re: A message in a bottle on the binary sea
I must have wondered off, fallen asleep while adrift, or maybe even abandoned here,I don't remember, but I have been here for so long, and know I just know that I belong somewhere else. I still have some memories, just fragments, of a time or place where the language and culture are familiar to me. My own tribe ? I just want to be home again.
(alright, now the disclaimer.....I don't claim to be a writer, poet, creative genius or any reasonable facimile thereoff. I'm reasonalbly sure that none of this will make any sense at all to anyone else.)
