Across The Miles

Across the miles, a love takes flight Two souls entwined, bathed in starlight Africa's sun on bronzed skin gleams Distant dreams dance in American beams From Joburg's heart to Detroit's sprawl Messages fly defying the squall Words whispered soft on screen's delight Build a bridge in the dead of night Mouths melt like snow, a yearning grows To touch, to hold, where the wild wind blows Visa woes fade, a plane ticket gleams Love's promise true, in a land of dreams First sight. A gasp, then tears Years of longing quelled by cheers Hands clasped tight, skies so blue Vows get spoken, hearts ring true Wedding bells blend with city's sigh Forever bound beneath one sky Two souls merged, a tapestry spun M and T, forever one Let this poem a testament be To love's fierce flame eternally For distance fades where hearts entwine The Lovers joined by love's design
