Parallel Love

Parallel Love I feel your presence as I gaze through my glass; As does the pup as it looks towards the sea. A vexing, perplexing, aperture in time; A terrestrial connection, which I could not decree. You are the love, whom I'll never hold; You are the dream that never can be. You are the life that eludes my being; There is no way, I'll ever be free. There's no one in my realm Who has your charm nor your wit. These verses penned in the solitude of despair; There's no one in my world, whom I shall ever commit. You are not at all worthless, As some would have you believe. Those beings are only deceivers, And what they do is deceive. I can see you for the person, That you really are. If only I could be with you, Instead of coupled, to a faraway star. Your pleasing demeanor and sweet, selfless grace, The sweetest smile on your most beautiful face. A most glorious love giving way to frustration, I would if I could, but cannot erase. A dream is a virtue not to demean; Would that I could an Earthly portal to find, The stairway to the vast Heavens, To a love of the Angels - a love so sublime. You are my light and the joy of my life, If only my thoughts could I transmit to you. If only I possessed the power to bend time and space, And for the slightest moment, had the power to pass through. But alas, my dearest love, it is never to be - I can only watch you from afar. Praying that somehow you can hear me or sense, My lonely, distant discourse from a faraway star.
