Something Cyber
Why can't I just type
What I really want to say
Why does something so idiotic
Come from my hands - my brain
All I want to do
Is write this poem
For a very special woman
-W/out it coming out
Like some kind of desperate attempt
To dive right into a relationship.
Am I insane
To type how I feel
Is it just an unrehearsed way
To make something small into a big deal.
When we explore w/in our cyber conversation
Pleasure swallowed my being
So do I dare allow this unseen woman
Witness how I am so weirdly feeling.
Fearing I may drive this woman away completely
I suppress my passion for her
I would regret making her leave
Wishing I'd just disappear
Into the invisible air I breathe.
I wish I could talk w/her
Outside this confined computer area
Just to see - even for one quick moment -
If we would ever share
Something in common together.
I have to take this leap of faith
So I won't regret it in the future days.
I believe her unlimited beauty
Is something to adore
-Even though we have never met;
Just sensing her to be so tender and fragile -
I just wish I had the chance
To show her the passion I feel.
Now w/my untamed thoughts
W/in this computer of mine
When next time we chat
Will I have the courage
To give this to her
Allowing her unseen alluring eyes to read;
Or will I keep this w/in my possession
So I may spinelessly bleed.
I hope I have the strength
To give you this poem from my heart
Please don't let this scare or push you away
For then most certainly
my heart would crumble apart. . . .
