Christians say They fell in love with Jesus Because they read his word Devote their life to His word Live by Die by His word Never shook hands with him Or ate breakfast At his house Never took him to A theater Or played tag with him Never ate Chinese food together Never walked up A flight of stairs Or played Parchesi by a fire When there was snow outside I may never Look into green eyes Kiss crimson lips Touch white skin Or feel pink fingers I may never sit with you In a car Or listen to music In a hall with you I may never taste your tongue Or smell your hair And would never have to Because I fell in love with you Because I read your word I’ve seen through your eyes Though I can’t see them I’ve tasted with your tongue Though I can’t taste it I’ve felt with your fingers Though I can’t feel them I’ve heard with your ears I’ve smelled what you smelled And I’ve felt the Raging Beating Heart Beneath breasts Though I can’t touch them And I know That I have fallen in love with you That I have stood on a high hill And felt you, Blow Like the wind How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it. -Marcus Aurelius |

Thanks everyone -- I figured I owed this one to all my old friends since I was such a stick in the mud naysayer for so many years...  |

Here I thought that you'd be pleading For love from that internet I was gonna have to tell you (S)he's one tough lover to get! With so much attention paid it There might be cause for alarm Even for someone who's Not totally without charm! *G* But now I better understand Just what it is you plead And those who scoff might do well To give a moment's heed. For someone's words can reach inside And touch your very soul You might have thought you were complete Till someone made you whole. I know I never thought I'd love Someone I hadn't met Till I found this world's finest man Upon the internet. |

An ecstasy as yet unknown Enjoins a once unseemly pair With passion born of words alone, When love from inside out has grown. |

And red is my stroke, Isn't that the color of love? One does not need gazing, To be carried on wings of doves. LR- nice poem! Z |

I love this poem..... No one understands this internet thing until they themselves have experienced it.... I know because my friends thought I was crazy when I met someone over the internet..... Words are a very powerful thing! You did a wonderful job... ds |

Dear Rebel, I'm sorry to say I skipped over this one because of the title. I thought it was going to be a silly poem like I wrote one time about the net. But instead I was swept away by your thoughts and your words. This is simply wonderful, and so well expressed! Two thumbs up from this poet. Liz |
