Closer

Closer

A Poem by Tks
"

If only..

"

If only we were slightly closer

Things might be different


Seeing you would be a reality

Smelling you would be all I would ever do

Hearing your voice

Is the mellifluous music my soul has thirsted for

And will dance to

Feeling your warm skin against me

As we lay under a blanket of stars

Ready to visit the Moon, Mars,

Perhaps Pluto.


If only we were slightly closer

Perhaps all I would ever know

Would be the taste of your lips against mine..

As we dissolve into fiery brimstone

And hellfire

All I will ever know

Is salty seawater

As the Seven Seas stand sentinel

Between us.

Longing for someone with such intensity

to share a life

Love and people separated by ocean or land. Leave us in a limbo.
"All I will ever know
Is salty seawater
As the Seven Seas stand sentinel
Between us."

Your wording is so resonant with naked emotion, it made me immediately remember situations in my life in which I wanted to say something to another, so desperately...but we just weren't on that level of closeness required for such personal feelings to come out. And THEN years later wondering why I didn't just take a chance and voice my support. Your wordplay in this piece, Tks, is outstanding. Very nicely done...dan
