The smooth of you and I,
sensuously separated
by the soft of sheets,
the space between our beds,
the cities in which we live.

Words on wireless phones
can’t touch your skin,
kiss your lips,
submerse themselves
in the soul we share.

They can’t feel like the touch of us
beneath the softness of a single sheet,
or whisper with sliding sighs
like the smooth of you and I . . .
inseparable.

Words on wireless phones –
not the way love was meant to be.

Heartbeats through time and space,
sensuously separated
by the soft of sheets,
the space between our beds,
the cities in which we live.

The smooth of you and I . . . lost
to the sky.

Not the way love's supposed to be perhaps... but sometimes... you go with what you've got... and voice contact is better than no contact... even if your arms ache with empty. *S* I like this very much!!

but sometimes? the voice brings so much comfort. Hugs hon.

Well then, my friend, you both should meet at a compatible destination, and enjoy each other for the time you both have left...for a love like this, should not be separate...wonderful write dear poet...thank you for sharing.
