Poetry: Far away

FAR AWAY

This morning, your voice was
the sun touching me, warming me
making me feel loved.

Last night was a cold, icelandic ocean;
the distance creeping between us,
my insides freezing in.

Once before, we were gently floating islands,
tentative eddies
circling around each other's unknowable hearts.

Who knows the tomorrow of it?
I memorize the sound of your voice,
but it's always a new song you're singing.

I am growing and being felled,
twisting and holding still
living the ache, the adventure of
distance; long distance love.

    As you hurt and smother me.
    As I endure yet

    Far away , very far away,
    lives my beloved and here I lay,
    all engrossed in her thoughts and memories,
    when we were together

    Abandoned

    Gone again, so far away;
    no one to hold, no one to touch.
    Pictures remind, life's bitter pain;
    chances lost, forever
