Reeling With Reality

I want to become less mysterious to you
and more familiar
you aren't the one
to play games with
you aren't a cyber flirtation
I don't want to leave you
twisting
in the wind
I want to give you my honest laughter
and tears
the horror of my humanity
the beauty of my loyalty
the loveliness of my hope
...all of this through e-mail and
conversations on the phone
until we meet
and learn the silent language
of complete fulfillment and nourishment
in each other's arms
