We'll never feel the warmth of love's embrace Chilled ripples on the skin from it's caress Experience first hand that sweetest taste Or kiss away sad tears of loneliness To love her means I'll die a thousand deaths Each thought, each dream, a poniard through my heart Then say, "I love you," with each dying breath A Shakespeare tragedy played out in parts Yet love is unrestrained by boundaries It lives and grows inside the heart and mind The feeling that removes all quandaries True love is still the strongest tie that binds Regardless of the miles we are apart The love we share connects from heart to heart October 13 2016

:) This is sweet DT - I have to Google poniard now (so thanks for furthering my education again) - Time and Distance are conquerable by passion...

Thank you, Alexis. I appreciate your kind comments and support. It's just a poem but if I had someone, this is most likely how I would feel.
