It's difficult to describe how a person makes us feel inside, even more difficult the task becomes when you have never been close enough to reach them with just one hand.

It's hard to find the right words to express how you feel, but taking the time to organize your thoughts and write them down comes naturally.......and in the end, perhaps without thinking, you have created poetry.

Written shortly after meeting my own soul mate on line. I tried to express the healing and oneness that such brought to my own life.

I wrote this poem to my soulmate, whom I found online.

Many don't believe or understand the feelings that develop as you talk to people online. At a very lonely time in my life, I met someone very special here in cyberspace. After spending several months together, yet apart, in this place it became almost unbearable--the thought of spending yet one more day without him. Two years ago, he became my husband and are living the dream that we spent so many months longing for...

I am not a poet by any stretch of the imagination. But when the heart needs release it finds a way to brings its joys and pains to bare. The poem is the result of passion that is felt, probably by many of you as well, through the connection we find online. To love so deeply, and never to know the touch of your lover's hand, is a pain that cuts like a knife. But I still revel in its afterglow that it leaves me with to this day. Passion is such a sweet fruit to tempt the palate....one that can not be denied...lest we cease to be alive.

Some time ago, I met someone over the internet. He was unlike anyone I had ever met. He has brought magic back into my life. There are very few words available to me that I could use to describe my gratitude to this man for encouraging me, believing in me and loving me....for who I am on the inside. This poem is just the beginning.

This poem was written after spending time with Mike learning and exploring each other and the love we share. I never realized how much he truly was a part of me until we had to say goodbye. It was only for a little while, but that didn't make the pain of our time apart any less.

We have been in this long distance relationship since October of 1997, and we have had a chance to spend a lot of magical time together. However, each time we have to say goodbye, it breaks my heart in two. Even though I know we'll be together soon, I can't help but feel completely lost without him. Each time I watch him walk away from me to board the plane, my heart shatters into a million pieces and I realize I will never be whole or complete until we meet again.

After meeting the love of my life on the internet and corresponding with him for months via email, as well as spending hours on the phone learning more about each other, we finally had the opportunity to meet and spend some quality time together.

Before we met we pledged our love to each other, but it was confirmed the first time we looked into each other's eyes. This poem was written after the first time he and I were together in person. I'll never forget the magic that happened between us ... two hearts bound together by the most perfect love!

Sometimes souls touch before eyes see. Creating the most intimate love of all. For Love starts in the heart. Sometimes we see through colored glasses and do not see the beauty of the soul

For Rushelle and Andrew, who correspond and love with many miles apart, from California to Ohio.

Deep feelings that I feel for someone I have never met - and might never meet.
