A Beautiful Disaster

I'm dissolved in the song of the rain -
In the echoing beat of your heart.
It's you pulse that still feels in my veins
Every day spent together apart.

Autumn alters the shades of the days,
Seasons change - we remain all the same.
An immaculate image portrays
Sheer grief in a beautiful frame.

I am kindling the candle of love,
And the lighter replaces a match.
See, in years it's getting too tough
To create this immaculate sketch.

Once your arms are a shelter for me,
All my dreams have the space for us two.
You're the shore to my bottomless sea,
We're apart, but I'm there with you.

Lovers and the distance grows wider, but love, at least for one, is strong. Nice work.

~*~ He did not wear his scarlet coat,
  For blood and wine are red,
And blood and wine were on his hands
  When they found him with the dead,--Wild

There are most certainly some magnificent images and lines in this ‘write’ ! …

such as:

“dissolv(ing) in the song of the rain” and:

“Sheer grief in a beautiful frame”

The strong bond of love connects us even over the longest distance...

Like Night needs Day
Good needs Evil
I need you to be complete...

You write the contrast of physical distance with a strong emotional connection so beautifully!
