Distant Lovers

Distant lovers mourn Searching for the soul's mate The magic that is love eludes them Intense fire is what they hope to create Yearning for the flesh Lost within the sweet nothings recited The urges are penetrating deeply Just as a single candle, who wants its flame ignited Lonely nights become unbearable Hard to sleep softly when the bed is made of nails Eyes wide open as the mind wonders The coin flip for love----call it --- heads or tails?
