Will You

Skyscrapers in a big city decorate the sky at night,

reminding me of how far apart our worlds are.

You there, me here.

With that realization my heart is flood with fear.

Will you hold my heart gently and remember

me as your one and only?

Or will you seek warmth when times get lonely?

Only time will reveal the truth.

Love the imagery of the skyscrapers here...and the long-distance romance.....I've had this experience myself, wondering what the other person is doing and hoping that the trust you have is maintained.....
"Only time will reveal the truth" as you say....

Long term relationships are always dangerous. I like the part of the heart being flooded with fear. I also love the way you use the text, with the color and all. The purplish red puts an underlying tension or anxiety beneath the words . . . as well as looking really cool

[Divinity Sleeps in This]

Those kinds of questions, grow heavy in all of our hearts.

You manged to make this quite universal.

[exotic flotsam]

Flowing, accessible style. Are you the serene night sky, decorated by your love? Distance stretches love to disparate ends; deepens the bond or disintegrates the connection. Time test all loves, near or distant. Fear not. You've no choice but to trust the love. You're worth the wait.

[Relic]

Your words are from the core of your heart. Separation from a loved one can be as expansive as a sky full of lights when desire can not be quenched, when doubt can not be put aside, and when thoughts can not be averted. The thread of love can seem slight and fragile. You've put these thoughts together well and leave us questions we perhaps recognize within ourselves.

[Forest Green]

Romantic uncertainty...heartrending and everpresent...you've described it well in this poem.

Excellent...

[Priscilla Sayers]

Very smoothly to the point. The question asked that plaques most at one time or another. "When times get lonely?", a time when we are all vulnerable, but, will you reach for just anyone? Or someone you hold dearest to you heart?
A wonderful poem.

[Cassie Fraga]

An honest expression asking the one that holds your heart. Lovely in words and feeling. Out pouring from the heart always brings quality. Nice

[Eagle Cruagh]

I like the pictures you draw
and the comparisons you make.
"Will you seek warmth when you
get lonely ? Only time will reveal the truth.
Dammmm-- my heart bleeds for you and him
as well . This is a terrible place to be,
waiting.
Write more, please--- you do it so very well.
