A small love poem from the viewpoint of a long distance relationships.
While I seize the night
In ebony hands,
You seize my mind, my thoughts,
Under witty words and lols.

You give me solace
In a quiet reprieve,
Among nocturnal emissions
And simple worded submissions.
My distant muse,
Blocked from me by glass,
And miles upon miles
Of useless space and figures.

I seize this space,
And let it expand between
My chubby and clumsy strokes
Against the keys, the mountains, your door
Waiting for you to come to me
With your sweet smile and honey words
That go beyond just a roleplay,
Just a chat, just a moment in cyberspace.

It's just you and me, floating in space.
This cyberspace, while I seize the night
And you seize my heart,
And my attention, that drifts like a bee
From you to sweet honey.
I bring you this honey, to eat
And enjoy, and sink into my unseen arms,
My spoken kisses that want to be real,
Those moments of touching glass
Pretending it's your skin,
Your eyes, your lips, you.

Those moments draped in shadow
and tossed about clothing,
My eyes on the screen
Hoping to pierce your soul.
And have you come to me,
And break this useless space
And faceless people
And deceiving profiles of pedophiles
As they talk to each other,
Lie to each other.

But you don't lie to me.
Not so far, it seems.
You show me your face, your words, your voice, yourself.
It seems so real, you seem so real
Are you real, am I real?
I know I'm real, not a robot
or a program with drawn art.
I'm me, a human, with you, a human
And I want to touch you
Like I do in our shared cyberworld.

I seize the night,
Its typos and blue screens,
And real people and robots,
Meeting in a chatroom
Like a party in a neighborhood
Where everyone is invited,
Just follow the Terms of Service.
I seize this cybernight
While I seize your real heart,
And you seize all of me.
The real me.
Loving the real you.
While we seize the night.
