Private Room

I'd scoffed when others had told me
tales of lives entwined once met
but now I believe affinity exists
to be found somewhere on the Net

I'm amazed at how swift friendship burgeons
in the absence of physical form
but in Fantasy's total immersion
you can imagine soft flesh that is warm

You don't have to view imperfections
nor witness social blunders
no warts or scars cause for rejection
a hazy conception is wondrous

You can share secrets you'd never tell others
in heartspeak of colored fonts
become best friends, even clandestine lovers
anonymous confidantes

I had Infoseeked through all of the chat rooms
tried Alta Vista, Excite, Yahoo too
but only when I eventually stopped searching
did I finally discover what's true

Given a chance to encounter
the true colors of someone within
no preconceptions abound here
for beauty is deeper than skin

And if you're looking for genuine affection
be yourself what you're looking to find
and when angels locate your connection
you'll develop a love that is blind
