Beware the intimate Internet! Beware the chatrooms with closed doors Where naked names cruise midnight shores And fall in love before they've met. Beware, O wives and husbands real, The lonely rivals virtual Whose words, or chaste or sexual, May from your beds affections steal.
Beware the posh imagination, More vivid far than earthly flesh. Beware the way two dreams can mesh In ecstasy beyond sensation.
Beware the fantasy that speaks, The vague ideal that springs a soul. No marriage can avoid the shoal That lies beneath such sun-drenched peaks.
No love but may retreat to stone As sirens sad the heart entice. Two names entwine in paradise While here two lovers lie alone.
