To Hold Love Close

When love's bright colors turn shades of blue,
Changed by separation, where love will dream
A deep yearning asks the soul to pursue,
Cross eternity as a lonely gleam
Could its soft glister reach you in flight?
Would you hear my soul calling through the mist?
This torchbearer from love's endless blue night
That hungers for your touch I can't resist
When souls connect in this timeless meeting
Find comfort in its sacred bonds of need
To hold lonely times are never fleeting
And dream that this traveler will succeed

 How empty the space not filled with yearning
 To feel each separation with hearts burning
