Notes About The Poem

I miss personal contact  =/ 

That Old Moonlight

I see your face, and like a splash of clear 
cold water - I’m startled awake from loneliness.
I hear your voice, and like something lost 
and wanted, I feel a breathless interest.
A video stutter is a cruel and sudden reminder
- you are unknowably remote - and this magic
connecting us is just another of passion's obstacles.

A distant love can be very frustrating at times, we all need that tender touch. Nicely penned, Anais. Hugs, John
