Reaching Heaven

Thoughts of you fill my mind, love You’re always a part of my passion When we are apart I’m reminded of a dove Who has drifted too far from its companion I miss you more with each passing moment Sleep will not come for the longing of you Love so deep and true is akin to an ailment Your heart and soul are everything I knew When we have the chance to be together again There is no doubt that my heart will beat with bliss For so many months I have only used my pen To speak to you with all the dreams I miss Without you here with me, my dear love My prayers for you reach the heavens above Written on July 29th, 2014 For: Fill up a Scroll! - Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Isaiah Zerbst

Very nice! That feeling of loneliness and longing comes in strong. I believe a few similes and metaphors would improve this, but that is only minor; this is really good stuff as it is.
