Unspoken Longings

Fairy tales and love stories 
Each has a beginning 
Each has an ending,
but our love~ an endless story
I don't know where to start.

Paintings in varied forms~
from abstracts to impressionisms,
I've seen them all in galleries,
museums and ancient walls;
So I tried to sketch your paradigm
and sculpted it in the clouds,
But I, I couldn't make an obra
that will depict unspoken longings
to see you one more time.

Sunsets and dawns~
I've witnessed them thousand times
with the birds and the trees;
The pleasure they bring 
no matter how sublime
can't appease my loneliness without you.

My love, I miss you so much~
and so I write this poem.
