emoticon!







maximize!
and the friendship starts.
minimize,
and we close our hearts…



a flicker of light
from a cyber space
in a room with a view
concealed.
i waited one night
in the meeting place,
waited for a heart
revealed.



so many times
i stumbled on
the words that
would make us one.
to many lines
i left undone
like a father who
lost his son.



maximize!
and the light ascends.
minimize
and the darkness wins.



can we even show
the depths of love
to which our hearts aspire?
from a screen i saw
you sitting there,
from a screen
you fuel desire.



emoticon
rushing through my veins.
emoticon
all i see.
is emoticon
all we’ll ever be,
emoticon
you and me?



maximize!
and the joy begins.
minimize
and the story ends.
