Though We Be

Though we be separated by great distance, many a miles the gulf between us Our two hearts walk always together Though your face I have yet to see, your distant eyes look affectionately towards me Smiles to smiles shrink our sea of space, this enormous chasm evaporates with one call from a cell You wishing me well ... your voice full of love, this I can tell Though we be ever so far away, our hearts have drawn only nearer Such a beautiful paradox to witness: I rest east of Eden, you rest west of paradise Perhaps we will be together in the next life As for today, sweet loneliness is the price we both pay Though we be true lovers, with hands that have never touched We do strengthen each other with comforting words from the heart unrushed

Having been in a 4 year long distance relationship prior to our marriage, I know exactly of what you describe in this great poem my friend. Now she and I are blessed with a ten year old son, and a happy marriage since Dec, 2004. GREAT POEM... A7

I can't imagine being in a long distance relationship because the emotions emoted in this poem would be too much for me. I'd have to catch a flight to Eden or paradise or wherever. Great poem!
