Long Distance Love

In our distance is our dreamy closeness 
In quite fragrant expanse scented flowers 
In moon lit sky we seek each other’s face
In Milky Way many restless whispers


The sun sits on the leaves of apple tree
Your face flashes in a nest of robin
The wet grass asks me softly where is she
At the top, hop restless sparrows umpteen

On this side of the sea I breathe empty
On the other side of the great void you
Smelling salted ozone from the deep sea
Go through my poems to feel the pink hue

I write verse to fill my oceanlessness
You inhale in your chest oxygen fresh

Premium Member Long Distance Love

I never believed in love at first sight until 
I saw you. Days later I learned that you 
felt the same. We had a whirlwind romance 
and got married two months later from the 
day we met. We fell madly in love and we 
were inseparable.  

That all changed the day you got drafted
to go fight for our country.  I didn't want
you to go. I became anti war instantly .
But I lost the battle, you chose war over me.


My heart was no longer in my chest, it was
over seas fighting for a war I didn't believe 
in. Your letters were my only ray of sunshine.

Days turned to months, months turned to 
years.I didn't know if I could survive another 
day without you. My lonely nights seemed 
like an eternity. 

I will never forget when you returned to me, I 
was so empty inside and missed you so much. 
You saw me staring into nothing and took me 
into your arms and my heart started to beat for 
the first time since you left.

That my love was the happiest day of my
life. We've been together ever since.

Where the River Meets the Sea

What would I give 

to get a glimpse of your smile

to have and to hold

your heart for a while

I want to meet you

where the river meets the sea

Leave your oars behind

Set the barrier down

and sail away with me

We'd sail away together

to wherever the wind blows

to our soul's velveteen garden

where blushed crimson

bleeds its rose

We'd sail away forever

to a secluded land

I curl within your arms

and hold on to your hand

We'd lay on autumn's blanket

Watch the sea-gulls soar up high

Flutterin' their wings 

above blue waters

'Neath a mandarine sunset sky

What would I give 

to feel your fingertips

brushing sand between my toes

To taste your honey-dew breath

as the moonlit cradle glows

But,here I walk upon the sidewalk

each footprint leading home

Under an antique street light

Standing on my own

And here  I am singing a love song

My shadow dancing free

And there you stroll along the river-bank

so far away from me.

Premium Member With These Flowers

With these flowers, I hope I've put a smile on your face
With these flowers, I hope I've made your heart whistle a symphony
With these flowers, I hope you're yearning for the warmth of my caress
With these flowers, I hope you now realize that I take you seriously
With these flowers, I hope you'll lift the veil that conceals your soul

With these flowers, I pray that you're willing to meet me halfway
With these flowers, I pray that you can clearly hear my heartbeats
With these flowers, I pray that I've convinced you how much I care for you
With these flowers, I pray that you'll give me a fighting chance
With these flowers, I pray that you're now thinking of me, as I'm doing of you

With these flowers, perhaps you'll reciprocate in kind
With these flowers, perhaps you'll finally lower your defenses
With these flowers, perhaps sparks I light will eventually start a flame
With these flowers, perhaps  a slow river of passion will finally rage
With these flowers, perhaps a bud of love will someday sprout

When the sparrow meets the long nights 
webbed in the gentleness
 of every beat that marks your heart; 
only then will we find a faraway world coming together 
as graceful leaves mix 
with the branches of our souls;
 for the length of time is never kind though precious-- 
our testament to be one
connects us through serendipitous pulses :
We may not be together, 
yet we feel the same rain ,
same tears, and language unbidden. ..
Is this what long distance love is
 made of? 

 We bind the folds of seasons
 and still know how we live
 in any moment of an eon-- 
a love made in a place called heaven's fate,
 staying in touch
 through deep intuition and prayer -
that we forego season's ticks, sometimes...

 A hundred years may pass,
 yet we know, this love infinite will bind the hues
of devotion 's thread,  stronger than
the fabric of time's test.

palette of seasons
changes from neutral to bold
surpassed by love's strokes

the diamond
     he thought he plucked
          is not
               the real McCoy. 

huge thunderbolt he...
     never saw
          coming! 
               his main squeeze

dumps him
     with dear john
           epistle. 
                long-distance love dies...

he's swapped for another! 
     a...

Premium Member In Absence of the Soothing Light of Moon

(Sonnet with rhyme on both ends of alternating lines)

The starkness of my world now that he’s gone
pervades in all I see and hear and feel,
but darkness swallows all until the dawn
invades.  Then what I’ve lost is made more real!

I yearn for Moon’s return - her tender light
to keep me soothed, for sunshine is my bane.
I burn with thoughts of him.  I need, each night,
to sleep away my longings and the pain.

He left, and now he’s far away from me
across the globe.  Oh, how I love him so!
Bereft am I, but he perhaps feels free!
My loss means where he is tonight shall glow
sweet Moon, caressing him - as once did I,
and soon, I’ll face the glare from morning’s sky!

Just us and our love

I just want to look at you—
your blonde hair, poodle-like eyes,
that artistic nose,
and your soft, pouty lips.

You stir my heart like a cyclone,
stealing every thought I try to hold.

I want to hold your hand
and tell you—
I’ve kept this feeling buried deep,
like a hidden capsule in the soil.

I want to carry your burdens,
just to see you smile
a little brighter than before.

I want to pat your head
as you drift to sleep,
the way a mother soothes her child.

I want to trace your forehead,
to ease the worries you hide.

Will you look at me,
just once,
with those gentle poodle eyes?

I’d be happy
just to hold your artistic hands,
where our unspoken love
could finally be understood.

At the end of the world,
let it be just us—
laughing, forgetting,
leaning into each other’s warmth.

Just us,
and our love.

Does Your Heart Share This Moon Tonight

“For in your light I dream, as evening takes my hand”

Silently I find my thoughts illumined by your beauty
In soft shimmers of dancing silhouettes
and patterns allowing far away breaths to sigh

Eyes peer into velvet skies,
visions set in motion eternally, find me stranded of this
distance we share, north to south, longing for you
Desperate for but a breeze, a movement of shadow,
a hope of wishes made upon the early arrival
of this crested view

Lonely among the maples, towering soldiers
lined at fielded boundaries, claiming wisdom
as they too reach for your smile

“And I yearn the knowledge of your distant view”

Do you think, do you feel, do you dream of me
from balconies high above hibiscus footpaths,
candle lit in passing moments which flicker, enchant

Drinking from a porcelain cup caressed by your hand,
a touch my body pleads, soft fingers on smooth surroundings,
ripples following moonlight sonatas,
days of spring blooms and whimsical showers,
flooding affections to wash over me,
carry me to you

This moon, suspended in charcoal heavens
upon a beaded blanket of perfect pearls,
beckons our dreams in simultaneous fashion

“Does your heart share this moon tonight, with me”

Rare as a Blood Moon

A raspberry is sweet—
yet seeing you leaves me fresh and sour,
regretting I didn’t find you sooner.

You make me pop when you smile,
like a golden retriever greeting the world
with pure joy.

You make me burst like confetti
the moment you show your heart.

You leave me wordless,
blank as white paper,
whenever you stick out your tongue.

You are rare as a blood moon
when your eyes open wide.

Will these sacred words ever reach you
before I leave this world?
This feeling crushes me gently—
like a raspberry pressed into juice,
slowly draining me,
yet never losing its sweetness..
