Who am I, but words on a screen?
When you think of me.. what do you see?
Do you visualize me..
When I'm angry,
do you get the feeling?
Can you almost see my face in agony..?
Or do you simply expect CAPS LOCK to proceed?
When you type, 'i love you'
what then?
are you grinning to yourself? Do you think I am?
when you are *wrapping your arms around me
Do you almost get the feeling?
For a moment do you think it's my scent your inhaling?
When your upset, and my hand is on your shoulder,
do for even a moment think of looking over?
Even when I've called you on the phone..
do you see me lying on my bed with the receiver tucked to my ear..
or do you think of what you see here?
each word, each letter..
you know me better,
line by line.. you're discovering..
can you almost hear my voice?
It's like a strange type of telepathy.
you're learning everything,
even if you were in my actual presence,
chances are i wouldn't have understood your brilliance.
Sooner or later the chat room fades
and all that's left is emotions in it's place.
Although I think i know what i mean to you
I'd like to see if your face lights up when i say i feel that way too.

Poetry: Computer addiction
Long black hair, neatly tied back.
Dirty jeans and a stained shirt.
The young man didn't care.
He slouched in the chair.
by Te Ora
I could gaze at him forever, as he keeps me in his stare
he took me away again last night, and gladly I went there
Always
There's a little mouse that sits on my desk
That holds my attention, I must confess
Taking me to a big world out there
Through
by Leigh Goessl
I long to see you every morn
From the moment I awake
Upon my desk that you adorn
My breath away you take
Hit the on button,
The sun rises even in the fog,
creeping up on humanity,
a spider on a string,
never knowing what the day will bring,
a fate
