Amor Mythica

Pleasure chasing; ideals and manifestation
.Eons

Calculating; perambulating; recoil
redress—less years and more haste
.interludes
.
A Cloud Minder awaits
.
a moment
a moment
.
silence interminable
.
a moment
a moment
.
too late

Blue Heaven Cathedrals now; swimming
within the intermists
.prayermakers

and thieves

Lamenting; confiscating
pleasure troves of ideal manifestation
.Creation

Allegory:

“Whimsy does not pay the rent.”
,she said

(Your Construct Does Not Compute)

Skycars and rainfall; circumnavigate
.surreal vistas

Gravitation

Puissant locomotion; retrograde
.comotion

those pleasure

troves

of ideal

manifestation;

us.
Abstract:
In the near future, 16 year-old Adrienne Dilectio receives a series of startling electronic messages, each increasingly complex, abstract and tender. Her pursuit into the origin of the messages leads her on a twenty year journey to discover the unthinkable: the communications are love poems from the future, from the artificial intelligence of the skycar in which she suffers mortal injury. Are the poems warning or lamentation? Do quantum computers hold the key to time travel?

* * *

This poem is an excerpt from the story mentioned above. I enjoyed writing the poems from the artificial intelligence's perspective as it grew in sophistication and ultimately developed its own style of communication. This is the last transmission before the fateful moment.

If it wasn't 6 in the morning I think I'd have more to say. But I did enjoy reading this. Even if I don't quiet understand every small message. But I am intrested in the story you speak up. If it's half as good as the poem it's sure ot be a good read.
Thanks for this little bite of literary heaven :D
