Digital Love Letters
DIGITAL LOVE LETTERS chronicles the emotional highs and lows of living apart from a loved one and allows us all to reflect on the impact of communication in the digital age.
I love hearing what resonates with you. Let me know which image and/or poem is your favorite and why? Do you have a similar image and story of how technology helped you keep in touch?
Happy Loving Day everyday!
Love Wins.

Disconnected
Following your dreams
can leave you disconnected.
Just trust the process.
Milling Around
Let’s tour the campus.
Let me be your guide to Mills.
Maybe you can visit.
My Oakland Postcard
Look for my postcard
and digital love letters.
It’s only two years.
Breaking Up
“Can you hear me now?
No! I said, you’re breaking up.
We’re not breaking up!”
Praying Hands
His image pops up.
Hands in prayer cover my mouth.
I say, “Oh, I love you.”
Melodramatic
Let me see your face.
“Time to count the days,” he says.
It’s been two weeks now.
Beating Myself Up
“How are you doing?”
“I’ve been beating myself up.
What was I thinking?”
Separation Anxiety
Going back to school.
Was just a dream at one time.
Now it’s a nightmare.
You See Me Clearly
It’s all a blur.
Except when I talk to you.
You see me clearly.
Window Blinds
Looking through the blinds —
Do you see what I see?
We’re under one sky.
Plug In
My phone is dying.
Long distance can take a toll.
If you don’t plug in.
Solid As A Rock
Our love is awesome.
It is solid as a rock.
See you tomorrow.
Finals Week
I don’t smell too good.
It’s finals week over here.
No time to shower.
Time Conflicts
What time is it now?
I wish you were Pacific.
I’m three hours late.
Restless
I feel restless now.
Looking forward to the end.
I wish I could quit.
Pill For The Pain
I’m yawning in class.
You are my pill for the pain.
I can’t get too bored..
Brushing Up
Time to brush my teeth.
Good night, early riser.
Let’s keep our smiles bright.
Pucker Up
Give me a kiss boy.
I want to feel the warm screen
on my lips tonight.
Top Secret
When will you visit me?
Before we had a real date.
I hate not knowing.
Wifey’s Wifi Wins
We telecommute.
This is a strong connection.
Wifey’s WiFI Wins!
Speechless
Hello, Are you there?
I’m untangling headphones.
It’s taking too long!
Main Muse
He reads my poetry.
And wonders who inspired it.
He is my main muse.
Solution
I miss snuggling.
He has the antidote.
A pillow with one arm.
Break-fast
There’s a break coming soon.
Then we can have a real toast.
Here’s to vacations.
Loving Light
The moon seems so far.
It is still a loving light;
crescent moon and star.
Trust
It crosses my mind.
Sometimes I ask, Where were you?
Then he shows me. Trust.
Saint Stephen
He grabs the good book,
just like a politician.
And I laugh so hard.
Honor Roll
I made honor roll.
A man of honor is proud.
We’re both honorable.
If You’re Facing It
Our hearts grew fonder.
Quality time did save us.
Quality Face Time.
True Love
You can live separate.
You can still grow together.
When you have true love.
