Distant Lovers

Distant lovers mourn
Searching for the soul's mate
The magic that is love eludes them 
Intense fire is what they hope to create

Yearning for the flesh 
Lost within the sweet nothings recited 
The urges are penetrating deeply
Just as a single candle, who wants its flame ignited 

Lonely nights become unbearable 
Hard to sleep softly when the bed is made of nails
Eyes wide open as the mind wonders 
The coin flip for love----call it --- heads or tails?
