Non-Erotic PoetryCommunicatingExploring, learning, and yet
That glowing screen at which we stare
Veils true meanings in the glare
Wondrous technology can reach so far
All around our great blue world
But this science left a cold legacy
Keeping us isolated from intimacy
Joy and laughter
Concern or anger
Turning one away
Or leading one on
Is helped along by emoticons
No contact eye to eye, face to face
Just words sent out through space
No body language, nor voice inflections
And hidden too, our facial expressions
Tho' words are very powerful
And at times can be concise
In written conversation
They may not be precise
Where is the warmth of your smile
Or the sparkling in your eyes
Your brows furrowed or raised
So much only one's face can convey
