Distance gained Love Lost
Closely guarded lost something
Once deep caring lost over life
Wondering and pondering
Where had been the strife
Intimacy demands change over time
Now only touched by glasses of wine
Words tried feelings and thoughts
At first fine then it was not
Time crashes into imagined space
Feelings suffer from being constantly paced
Winsome fleeting seldom more
Words to share stilted evermore
Living seeing caring desired
Intimacy oh intimacy slogging through the mire
Love captured close by and felt and said
Lived and shared so much tried and bled
So distance enters to replace unsaid
Distance tramples feelings unshared
Souls agree without a word
And are struck to distance by time’s hard press

Oh my Paul...
Good to see you so inspired today...
this has a lonely, melancholy feel.
Well done!

Paul

Sometimes distance happens and when it does, that intimacy is so hard to get back.  A pondering poem, thought filled and well done!

I like the way that feels, saying that "feelings suffer from being constantly paced" You are so right.

Distance sometimes is hard to overcome, but with the unity of two that truly care for each other any distance can be bridged.Glad to see you so inspired here.
