my thoughts are of you
often each day
nighttime finds you in my dreams
upon the morn I sense you in the wind
I hear your lilting echoing voice
upon my tongue there is the taste of you
causing my aching soul
to spend another day in eternity
I see you like a phantom goddess
deep within my every being
hope is the final straw
like a blind man always looking
and you're always a distance wail from me

Can feel the ache this far away.
Hope can hurt sometimes, when it lingers too long without fruition, I know

Yeah, EmmaRose, I guess most people have gone through this kind of torment. It's a sweet kind of torment, but a torment nevertheless. Thank you for your words of compassion.

A "Regal Intimacy"... wow,
that said it all. Your poem echoed the title!
Enjoyed, JP,

I have thought along those line myself, Margherita, that to feel something so intensely is to be more human than most people. However, when you experience it it surely doesn't feel that way to you. Thank you for continuing to support me here at the Blue Room.

Whew!  What a tug-of-war in the mind you present here between closeness with its intimacy and distance with its loneliness. Enjoyed!

Yep, I hear you about the tug-o-war, Bob. It is that for sure. Thank you.
