I Am Real
I’m real
The words that you see
Where typed by fingers
Attached to the hands
Attached to the arms
Attached to the shoulders
Attached to the chest
In which resides the beating heart
That keeps me alive…
I’m not just a cyber-link
That you click on at will
To see what’s new
In my feeble attempts
At poetry
My breath of life
My very soul
Is imbued in the letters
These simple letters
Which combine to form
An image you can see
Of the real me
These little rhymes
Are clothed in my hopes
My disappointments
And my fears
All my insecurities
And all my needs
What brings me joy
And makes me dream
These words are alive
They breathe
They bleed
They smile
They entice
They flirt
They feel
Look at them more closely
And see me
I’m real…
Keep me as a link to your heart
Let one click bring you to me
Come into my world
Where you can see and feel me
For the love of life
Don’t lose me in cyber-fantasy world
I’m real…
Touch the screen
Feel my pulse
Take a peek
Into my mind
Live a moment in my life
For these words that you see
Are a living breathing entity
Tissues and cells
The body
Of the real ME.
