FOR YOU This is for you, because I cannot reach you For you because my heart is filled with you You overflow me, every corner Of me, every fragile bone every elastic ligament All of me is you I write for you because you are so far away That I can only talk to you in words My hands can never touch your skin My lips would like to kiss yours I want your hands to push my chair To touch my every longing My brittle bones This is for you, because with eyes closed I hear your voice dancing around I see your eyes smiling with mischief I feel your kisses featherlight And I cry, in painful knowledge That this perhaps will never be That you'll only be a memory *** 3d place in: Long Distance Love Poetry contest Sponsor: Nicola Byrne

I have read many of these tonight and yours is the first to touch my emotions in such a tender and sincere, heartfelt way. I think you must have thought of your loved one as you wrote this for such genuine emotion pours in each verse. Love it, Darren ... I hope I never have to miss you here at Soup ... CayCay

Thank you so much CayCay. Yes, he lives far away from me, and we both hope to be together one day, despite all difficulties. Hugs xx
