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 [This message has been edited by Goodknight (09-03-2003 04:16 PM).] |

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. Crystal |
