Long Distance Love

In our distance is our dreamy closeness 
In quite fragrant expanse scented flowers 
In moon lit sky we seek each other’s face
In Milky Way many restless whispers


The sun sits on the leaves of apple tree
Your face flashes in a nest of robin
The wet grass asks me softly where is she
At the top, hop restless sparrows umpteen

On this side of the sea I breathe empty
On the other side of the great void you
Smelling salted ozone from the deep sea
Go through my poems to feel the pink hue

I write verse to fill my oceanlessness
You inhale in your chest oxygen fresh

That's a very romantic and yet divine piece, Probir!!! Somehow it reminds me of a TV Series I once enjoyed watching, the Mahabarat.... Congrats Probir, for your placement in the contest!!! ;-)

Very intimate poem, Probir. I can fully relate, I had a long distance love affair that was intoxicating and unfulfilling. It was a painful/pleasurable experience that gave me mixed emotions. You expressed it very well in this poem. Love your work, friend. Much love from the RW (Romantic Warrior.)

Very romantic, long distance love can be painful, being so far apart.
