Only a Heartbeat Away

Poem of love and longing

  

Only a Heartbeat Away

 

Your love is my comforting force
Tonight as I dream by the sea;
While hearing the waves wash the shore,
My thoughts turn to love's memory.

As twilight brings chills to my skin,
Your arms are the ones that I long;
While wind whispers secrets of love,
Your voice fills my heart with a song.

My feelings shall never decline
As sands through the hourglass flow;
Important as breath is to life,
Your love is the spark in my glow.

I'm reaching across ev'ry wave
On breezes that touch from above;
When two are but one in their hearts,
No ocean can separate love.

Until we're together again,
I'll sleep in the warmth of a dream
Where you're just a heartbeat away
And miles aren't as far as they seem.

Your eyes have their way with my heart
Whenever you smile at my face.
No words can express how I melt;
One look and my pulse starts to race!

Each memory speaks of your name
Until you return to my arms;
Inside, when my heart skips a beat,
I float on the thought of your charms.

As days turn from weeks into months,
Our love is what's seeing me through;
Please know 'cross all distance and time, 
I'm charmed by the splendor of you.

I'm yours through each night and each day---
and only a heartbeat away.

You'll never guess how amazing I found this poem. Just a few moments ago I was greiving .. crying quietly to myself. This poem is exactly what I feel. But reality spoils it all and forces me to think I'll never see my love again or hear the voice that soothes my ears.
Thank you for writing this. It's absolutely beautiful.

Wow, I could read this over and over again. In fact, I believe I will. Beautiful, even without the picture, which goes perfectly with the words. The rhythm, words, all of it just came together so nicely. Great work!
