Pour Toujours Et a Jamais

An ethereal umbilical cord 
- connected - you and I 
sight unseen
across vast oceans.
Spiraling ribbons enchanted my soul
tickling a smile from my lips.
Your gaze captured my heart,
delivering light from the twinkle
I beheld.
Tears escape as I know communion will never be…
Tethered forever to you.

Ah this poem draws bittersweet emotions from me. I met a sweet Algerian boy online. He does not speak English but we communicate well enough...my husband will not allow me to sponsor him to the US so though I love him I can never be the mother to him that I would like to be
