Yearning

So close and yet so far Close enough to throw a stone and mark your door Yet as far away as the moon To be in the ecstasy of your view, your touch, your smile then be plunged into the abyss without you in it is more than I think I can bear My positive self says it is only for a time My heart so fears otherwise To see the sun then have the clouds take it from my view Will this cruel, cruel life mock my passions, throwing them to the ground And trample them like leaves on a path?
