Jeff Keeping It Real!

 We sit and we type and we stare at our screens,

We can’t help but wonder what all of this means.

With mouse in hand …we roam through this maze,

On an infinite search…lost in a daze.

We chat with each other, we type all our woes

At times we’ll band together to gang up on our foes.

We wait for somebody, to type out our name

We want recognition, but it is always the same.

Soon friendships are formed – but – why we don’t know,

But some of these friendships, will flourish and grow.

We give kisses and hugs, and sometimes we’ll flirt,

In IMs we chat deeply, and reveal why we hurt.

Why is it on screen, we are so easily bold,

Telling our secrets, that have never been told.

The answer is simple, it is as clear as a bell,

We all have our problems

We can’t tell real people, but tell someone we must

So we turn to our computers …and to those we can trust.

Even though it sounds crazy…the truth still remains,

Most of my “friends” have no faces…and odd little names.

 Hey again,

I wrote this a little while back and decided to share it with you.  I wasn’t to sure about it before but I thought to myself. “Self, what do I have to lose.” Anyways, I hope you like it.

 How do I tell you how I feel about you

When
every time I think of you my body shakes
every time I see you my knees grow weak and
every time I’m with you I don’t want the time to end.

When
every time I look into your eyes, I wish I was there
every time I see you smile my heart melts and
every night before I go to sleep I pray we don’t end.

I’ve tried somehow to say:
you’re the sun that lights up my sky
the wind that keeps me cool on a hot summer day
and sweet incense that keeps me on a natural high

I want so much to tell you
that without you with me each day my day isn’t complete
that since day one I’ve always wanted to be with you
that no matter what’s going on in my life
you’re the reason there’s a smile on my face
and that loving you seems to be all I need to know.

But every time I want to
the words just wont come out
to you it may sound mushy or too cute
you may not believe it so it’s better I keep my mouth closed

Then to try to tell you exactly whats on my mind
yet I wish to tell you that I’m beginning to
love you more with each passing of the day
and that I want to be with you
come whatever may.
