Far From You
Permission, approval, let go
Far, for feel, for taste,
To see if belong was the deal.
You didn’t send me alone,
But I parted with others, not you!
Same blood runs in veins
Stretched across the ocean.
Connection –denied;
Heart for heart feels,
Reach –faded, eyes -blind.
My thoughts sent nightly
Expected reflection;
Your tears –muted,
Squeezed between eyes’ lingered lines,
Lips -sealed, warm hands in fist,
No anger, no blame, no words,
Just miss, sorrow, pain,
Misread order, confused, misbelieved.
When does a hug expire?
Love doesn’t; love burns you, quiet;
Life in denial, counted numbers
In years and miles…
Suitcases –rusted, molded padlocks;
Moisture added, paddles -crowded,
Wires –crossed, rings are pounding,
Not from you!
You are there and scared for me,
But numb!
When I come
To see you again,
Melted in your hold,
How would I ever let go
Across your “no”?
