Over the Blue Horizon

With hungriest eyes 

I scan

the distant skyline.



Searching for love at

all compass points.



In the crimson tumble

of sunset

your face smiles

imposed on velvet clouds.



Distance impales my heart

on javelin lasers.



Biting back the sting of tears

I pray

beyond the cruel vault

of land and sea;



over the blue horizon

we will be together forever

some day.
