In your dreams

Between Day and Night


Was it the smell of cheap perfume in my hair?
(You held me so close)
and I wondered...
If you knew you how far away I was.

As the sun set in the distance
It seemed so close.

Bursts of warm colors
peaked through the low set clouds;
mirrored upon glassy water

but I knew it,
Like you,

Would be on the other side of the world
-In time-

So I held you closer
though I was so far away.

-Juju

-"So you found a girl
Who thinks really deep thoughts
What's so amazing about really deep thoughts " Silent all these Years, Tori Amos

Your poem really emphasize the sweet in the phrase "Parting is such sweet sorrow."  Enjoyed!

You weaved nature and emotions into a very fascinating whole.
