Long Distance Relationship.

Mysterious-
As you thinly spread magenta
polish on your bright-
pink finger nails.
Deep blood that penetrates
the surface.
Your keratin-
dusted ad speckled with burgundy-
DNA.

Certificates of excellence-
scattered on your pale
amethyst walls.
Your dwellings-
mirror yourself-
in ways no one else can notice.
Lilies and quotes-
painted-
surround you.
Bible verses hoover over your head.

Subjected.
Known-
Loved-
admired by many.
Who are you?
A shadow of dozens of golden stars?
A characterization of the millions
of characters you've read about?
A description of influential
words that roll off your pen?
An imitation-
of the paint strokes you create?

I yearn- to learn your ways.
Your movements-
I desire to delve-
Connect the sparks in your mind.
Bathe in your psyche.
Loathe your troubles-
Grow from your challenges-
Comprehend the misunderstood

What brings joy to your eyes?
Pleasure?
As the sun rises-
as the rain platters on-
the window.
Autumn breezes-
Wind teases-
shuffling of sienna brown-
burnt orange and crimson leaves.
The smell of antique-
age stained novel pages.
Crisp.
Lulling sounds of music-
as lyrics twist and turn
through your ear drum.
Peace.

What time do you rise?
the times you fall-
What intimidates?
Empowers?
My love.
Distant-
yet-
extremely close.
Bold-
and open.

Affection drips-
as you brush your hair.
Platinum.
Radiant-
Enamel;
Glistening in the-
Eye numbing rays of the sun.
You've learned to love-
Gratitude to your mother.
Giving you grace-
instructing you well.
Gentle-
Delicate.

Your attention is wanted.
Needed.
However-
Your time is taken.
Woven strands-
Cradling.
More becomes less-
As you try to do your best-
Control.

I'll remain.
In the distance.
Waiting.
Debating-
Patiently-
for your attention.
Admiration-
Adoration;
As I continue-
the long distance relationship-
with my love.
Me.
