So Far Away

~ a romantic scribble ~

~ Paris Nights by Mark Spain ~

 

 

 

So far away

and yet

when the night is warm and the air is thick

and the motion of the breeze
gently

tickles my skin

…like your soft breath
on the nape of my neck…

oh oui mon amour

suddenly
you are here

 

and before I can focus

before I remember

 

my lips whisper

stay

 

…floating

like a secret

on the warm night air…

 

for a moment

I am yours

The longing for that someone special.....I am struggling with this every day. The chance to hear her voice, feel her touch is like a dream but a nightmare too. I close my eyes and see her and know that patience is what is needed if my love is so strong.

This is simply touching and resinates with me.

Regards

Does it feel like he's there? Or he too is mentally connected to you and just comes at the right time?
Smooth poem as usual and your romance is delicate and fanciful 💘
Just one request, translate that foreign line, I want to sense it💗
And your writings are more than scribbles.

[MsJewel]

oh oui mon amour ~ oh yes my love. I call them scribbles - little heart prints and pictures put to words of love, dreams, fantasy and reality...sometimes a mixure of all...
Thank you for your lovely comment :) Julie

[Daydreamer]

Aw, I see the symbolism. Never crossed through my mind.
You're most welcome 💕

This feels like a lovely rendezvous; a scene in a romantic movie.

I think I've been watching too many old movies lately...I've become addicted!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i like the last two lines, "for a moment/ I am yours"

and it reminds me how sometimes love is really good but so ephemeral...

like the Carole King song of the same title as your poem..."doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore, it would be so find to see your face at my door, it doesn't help to know, you're so far away"
you know i know about long distance love...and i really appreciate this poem.

Thank you for your kind comment Jacob. Long distance love is difficult...

[Linda Moon]

I echo Jacob's thoughts... The essence of your words truly capture the longing to have one's whispers felt upon the skin as it does within the heart... Thank you for sharing your heart. Much peace and light to you ~Linda
