Distant Love

Far from home,

Lying awake in darkness,

Longing to once again feel your touch,

Your soft cool skin gently pressed against my chest.

I yearn to one again bare witness to your beauty,

To me by your side as you slumber,

Your warmth of your breath against my neck.

I am starved for your kiss,

The spark of passion,

As my lips meet yours

And my cares in this world fade away.

Being away from you,

Is the hardest thing in my life,

The frightening thoughts cloud my mind,

That I may never return to you,

Lost forever in this barren distant land.
 

To deeply desire to once again hold your hand,

As we enjoy the simple things in life,

Wandering this dark path of life,

Forever until the end of days.
