A Distant Desire

by Ren   Aug 8, 2008


I find a map,
And draw a straight line,
Across the Oceans,
Passing time.
My finger plays,
Along point "A",
Until I see,
My wanted point "B".
I touch the place,
Where I'd find your face,
And my heart begins to ache,
For we now live miles apart,
A painful boundary we were forced to take.
Its hard to imagine,
That you are so far away,
When I saw your twinkling eyes before me,
Each and every day.
I can still feel your heart,
In rhythm with mine,
As we marvel at each other,
Staring into each others eyes.
Your breath is still hot against my neck,
As you caress beautiful words into my ear,
Telling me you love me,
And that's all I want to hear.
I can feel your passionate hands,
Dangerously tangled in my hair,
Your lips a scolding fire,
My skin threatening to tear.
Our words a cascade of wanting,
Our movements an adoring tie,
That no matter what happens,
Our love will never die.
These memories so bold,
Of our stories untold,
With you beside me,
With you in my hold.
I can never see,
Anyone with you but me,
And my heart believes I'm right,
And you will be there,
Faithfully,
Waiting to hold me tight.
But that's such a long time away,
In this strange new world I'm forced to stay,
A world without you,
The painful price we both have to pay.
And as my lonely fingers,
Fondle along this map,
I trace a longing path,
Of what I hope to see,
That someday, I, in point "A",
Will be back with you,
In point "B".
