The return trip ticket
is ice in my pocket --
the paper is dry
when within my hand.

Your eyes swallow me
and won't let me leave --
they close as we kiss.
We part at the gate.

As I pass through
the longwalk felt tunnel --
I want to run back
as I progress.

I crave conversation
to warm the plane's womb --
I turn on my music,
ignoring all seatmates.

As we lurch forward
and into the air --
I feel your heart lifting,
the seconds weigh heavy.

I long to recapture
the cloud castles rising --
Illuminations.
Heavy, cold glass.

Parting is such sweet sorrow, and you write of it too damn well. sighs and memories...

Ah, separation so difficult. This put a tear in my eye and a gut wrench for you captured the reality of it so well.


Thanks, Pat

Thanks everyone, I was just remembering last year, and how I wanted to write a poem about the clouds when I got back from Calgary from visiting my girlfriend.
