Tonight is just a comma in our love letter
Since the moment that I found you
The moment my life began at day one
I've become something more than what I could do
Before you made me want to be that person.
Every thing that I have ever said that was right,
Every shimmering moment of mutual fun -
Is expressed in a love letter it takes a lifetime to write
To tell you most certainly that you are the one.
My hunger for you knows my limits and my taste.
My respect for you knows no limits or age.
In your arms my thoughts run away from the chaste
My soul spills over onto love's life-long page.
But tonight I sleep wrapped alone in my dreams
Distance bringing you nearer to my core.
The sweet ache of missing you slips over in streams
That drown me in passions fuel to restore.
This night is but the briefest of rests
In the love letter it will take my life to get right
A breath between kisses, a study between tests
A pause between what I wrote and I write.
Tonight is punctuation, a comma, nothing more
A blink between one embrace and another
A night alone without the one that I adore,
Lest our love become overwhelming and smother.
You are the sunshine that warms the coldest day
The glow that glimmer's in my every night.
So believe me when I tell you that in every way
Your heart is the one that fits just so tight.
Tonight is just a resting point on our journey together
One among many that we are not in mutual embrace.
But tonight is but an eye blink in the scheme of forever.
One step in a dance that will never be a race.

Poetry: Love from afar
Gone but not forgotten
I miss the way you held me,
whenever I was sad.
I miss your smile, your voice,
and the way you
by Susan Kmita
Wondering…
Daydreaming with faraway stars
Catching a ride in breathless clouds
Laying in tall sweet grass
Wondering when
Watched you from my window,
Each day when you passed by.
Nothing I wouldn't do,
For just one look in you eyes.
Should I take
To see him from a distance
I am wondering what he is thinking
His beautiful mind
Is where I want to be
He walks toward
Love from afar
This was a time when destiny brought us together.
Is when life was so at peace.
To what we shared,
Many
