This thought is launched like a guided missile
Aimed at your heart
Its accuracy is precise
The effect devastating and immediate
Over a thousand miles away
You survive its strike but your complacency is shattered
Even as your own thoughts
Are sent on their retaliatory mission of
Mutually assured
Seduction

Ooo–Fantastic poem!

Uhm, “love is a battlefield?” Love the extended Metaphor in this piece! 😉
Thanks Susan and Shafiqah. No, this isn’t a battlefield metaphor at all, instead its a metaphor about the impact that we can have on each other so many miles apart.
so true.. I like the way you put it.
Thanks!
Quite effectively used.
Bang!
