Oh I feel the distance,
Tonight,
And I wish I had your smile
To bridge its' awful spanse.
Lo my heart rains tears
Upon carefully blooming hope,
My certainty that soon
These faded eyes will behold you
Once again
In all of your dark winged glory.
Ears that strain each night
To be lulled
By the gentled muffled caress
Of your breathing,
Barren this mouth, these lips
That so soon once more
You will cherish,
Fingertips search, a constant touch
Lingering and wonderingly
Comparing everything
To the intimate softness of your body.
Eyes the enchant my soul in rapture,
Silken lips ;
Your mane of hair;
Darkened tone and texture
Of your skin -
In the darkness I remember everything.
Oh I feel the distance
Tearing through my heart
Though short the passing time, it ticks
Away so slowly.
Closing my eyes,
I feel your eternal kiss,
Your promise
Upon my tearstained cheek,
And I hear your whispered
"I love you";
As I taste your scent on my lips.
These thoughts on my mind,
I put to my pen,
And with these thoughts,
That so soon together
We will embrace forever,
I succumb to sleep
And it's sweetened oblivion.
