I told me

I wrote myself a letter
to explain the way we feel
I asked myself hard questions
about you, about me
I wrote down my thoughts
for my eyes to see
my private thoughts
about the way I want to make love to you
you know me,  always thinking and analyzing
I told me of the things you’ve given
I listened as I imagined the thoughts in your head
I told me to wait, and listen.

your best face

in this matrix, putting our best foot forward
placing our signs out for the world to see
at our blog spots, our spaces, on live journals,
inviting the world to look and see
our best poem, piece of art,
our provacative photos, funny jokes
our clever avatar or headline blurb
this is the music I like
these are the places I love
these are pictures of me and mine
asking the world...do you like them?
do you approve?
i'm showing mine, show me yours
giving out pieces of our lives
putting on pretty masks like evening clothes
to go out for the night of fun
but not all is a mask
we dare, to pull back the mask
showing, "this is what I look like"
"this is how I feel"
