Somehow an internet cloud
has leaked into my room, and
I can soar the skies now:

Don't know
how long this connection holds?
chat on Gmail?
am online on Skype!

Memories return on
wet wings of the slow winds.
Old photos on this computer.

Should I
be content with photos tonight?
Separation is sweeter
on misty nights.

You said you were
reading my poems last night.
what poems did you read?
In the ancient Indian poet Kalidas' epic poem 'Megha-dootam' (rough trans.  Cloud-Messenger), the protagonist sends messages to his beloved through the clouds.

Here's a slice of modern love carried by the cloud too - Kalidas redux!
