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 <-@

Thank you :-) I'm actually familiar with this wonderful site. I've had a couple accounts but can't log into them due to me forgetting my passwords and junk haha. But thank you again for the kind words ^-^
