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......

Your poem speaks of the endless longing of two lovers separated by miles and yet, it brings to light the strength of their affection and trust in each other. Beautiful poem. Loved it.

[CHRIS ANDES]

that's what you call recollected in tranquility where emotions can speed up to its peak and then you know you're prepared to write...

[Wolf's Dark Song]

A love story that has played out over and over again over the centuries as war has always been with us. But every story is still unique and different and very personal to those involved. I really enjoyed reading your story. We never really appreciate youth while we have it. Great writing.

Awesome man :-)

Yes it's an old poem as you said but will give you an impression of being new everyday! Nice one loved it!

[~ Stefanie ~]

This is so sweet. I could feel the longing in the poem from you to your loved one as you wrote. I was drawn in from the very first line until the very ending. I saw the hope in the waiting game of an arrival home from war. That "the ocean would disappear and you would become one again" That was a beautiful line. Such a great write!
