A ocean apart

Written in April 1980. I need a positive poem today.

                            









A ocean apart













You are laying heavy upon my sweet dreams and hope.
I hold a simple letter in my hands.
Your sweet words saved me from pity and sadness.

You wrote sweet and kind words.
"I'm waiting for you. I have loved you since we met at the candy shop.
Please come back to me. You are my only love I want and need. I love you my Johnnie"

Miles separate us today.

Your beautiful face is all I can think of.
I yearn to hold you and kiss your tender and sweet lips.

But I can close my eyes.
I can see your smile.
Hear your beautiful voice.
Whispering. "Almost time my Soldier for you to come home. For the vast ocean to disappear and we will become one."

I pray for the days to go quickly.
For me to return home to you.

So my love.
Time will make us forget some promises.

But our time of separation is coming to a end and
I hope our love will truly begin.

Author's Note

A very old poem. To be young and hopeful again. Would be a nice feeling.

this is wonderful Coyote, but to be mature and hopeful is such a blessing, I enjoyed my youth but wasted it on "silly things of the young" but my 42yr old me I am totally loving and doing all things I should have done, So be forever young my most wonderful poetic man......

[Rachel Fitzgerald-Feele..]

Really liked being brought back to a time of love letters and the aching yearn for someone when they are a world apart...

[Amber "Victoriomantic" ..]

Did you get back to your lady? I sure hope so. You speak of her with such adoration, you are truly a deep and wonderful romantic.

Thank you for the many kind reviews. The young woman in this poem was on a proper track. I went for money. She is a nurse in Chicago. But she saved my life once and led me to a good place.

[Amber "Victoriomantic" Hart]

You are very welcome, you deserve them. I'm glad you managed to enjoy some experiences with her.

[Chantel]

Aww. A wonderful and touching piece. Loving and sweet. Sometimes love is just miles away and we do what it takes to get there.

I've lived the ache of having a lover oceans apart as well, and the desire to be close to them - so I could relate to it. And I am sure you know it, that distance makes hearts grow fonder of each other and strengthen the love. Wonderful writing.
