My Love  

My heart says
Lend me your grace, your love your desire
Hold me, stand me up in your arms
Engulf me in fiery passionate fire
Love me with all that is there
in your body and soul

My heart says
Show me love through the strength
of your touch your embrace
Show me love through the sparkle
in your eyes when you look at me
Be my beloved, lover,  love personified

I sit here in front of you
a mug of steaming tea
on my hands,
I look at you within
the screen of the computer
and you type 'hi'
I answer with a smiley

I smile I type the usual words
Of greetings and the ever present
wish of goodwill
and how are yous...
Little anecdotes of the day
and a few hours later
you type 'goodnight'

I type 'goodbye' with a waving smiley
and you sign out
My heart screams
don't leave, no, no not again
My heart sheds tears...
tears unshed, I turn away
I know you belong to another
The flickering screen's just a conduit
to a fantasy perpetuated by a lonely heart.
