Love From a Distance

Love From a Distance

A Poem by J.M. Santós

I hate our alternating schedules. 
Late nights and early mornings
Where every turn is a turn without a lovers face. 

No sweet french kisses, entwined with the mouth of morning and french roast coffee. 
Two lovers going about life at different times, different places - so many faces but each-others..
Face to face, time and again greeted with loneliness, every "I love you" whispered in public multiplies in decibels as if the existence of love were there simply to mock the fact that YOUR love was nowhere near you. 

Day in, day out - night fall... You fall blue; fall in bed just you and a full glass of
red wine
Heavy and ready to help you drown your sorrows
To help accompany your needing tongue
Numb it instead with bitter sweet grape since She isn't there to coat it with her love.
You rest.. settle for knowing She'll visit you in your dreams

Her kisses aren't too far away.

I thought twas a swell description of a day to day pay check to pay check, life of a couple. I liked some of the creativeness you used such as "No sweet french kisses, entwined with the mouth of morning and french roast coffee." However some places could use a bit more detailed descriptiveness, in order to put the reader in your mind state. Overall though it was a swell write :)
