soon to bid another farewell, yet, you've already unearthed a smidge of sad longing buried too deep within to excavate. as our sizeable distance kept stretching apart like a rubberband, first came your reassuring smile when you turned your head to look at me one last time, and with that smile - before slipping out of sight - a careful aim directly at the center of my heart; just one wink. ah, so you knew it was precisely what I needed? it's torturous watching you depart; with a piece of heaven to cling to... gently, gently, ever so gently, you pull me back from the precipice of melancholy.

Intriguing poetry, Edward. Very seductive, with a sliver of hope. Better than out and out tease though. Makes one wonder if she knows there's something real inside her that knows your love would meet a need of hers. Hummm? I enjoyed reading your poetry today, thanks for sharing it with us. Bill

A moment of parting gesture-- evocative form that communicates love--beautifully captured.
