Distant Dear

I feel as if we've met
But we have never touched
We've shared but many words
Although, none escaped our lips
Hearts flutter and faces flushed
Our words arouse our eyes
A mass of land and a bed of
blue brine
Are what pains my heart the most
Like a songbird in a golden cage,
Freedom is in sight
But what use is what lays before my eyes
if what I long for isn't tangible? 
One day, my distant dear
You'll stand before my face
Two missing pieces will mesh 
Off to a land of verdurous pasture
Afar from the curse of man
Where our souls will thrive
and intertwine
And happiness will no longer be, 
something we tire our feet on chasing.

Ellie Anne, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
