What is happening here?
I don't understand...
One moment they were mere words
on my computer screen.
Now they are the air that I breathe,
What's come over me?

What is it in those mere words
That has my soul so ensnared?
What unheard whispers are beckoning me?
What deep recesses in my being
Are calling out my name?
What is so intoxicating
About these characters on my screen?

Each time I see them
My heart soars
And my pulse pounds enticingly
through my veins.
I've never seen the face behind the words,
yet she pulls me through the screen,
it takes my breath away.

When she's gone
I find myself pining,
for our next liaison,
I feel as though a part of me is missing
When she's not there.
Loneliness besieges me when the screen is void,
A loneliness I've not felt in a long time,
A deep tugging in places I had hoped I'd forgotten.

What manner of angel or vixen is this
That can my soul command so easily and completely?
Who is this that's taken
My heart and my breath away?
What is this that has triumphed over me
So effortlessly and so efficiently,
so endearingly, so gently,
But they are just mere words on my computer screen,
yet my heart is forfeit, taken...
by just words on the screen...
just words.......
