Parallel

Chained are two hearts parallel

That cannot touch, wanting,

They reach out.

Forbidden, condemned.

Two lines never touching,

Never reaching, so close

So far, aligned, parallel.

Two lives carved out

Parallel their sights

Side by side never

Meeting as one. 

Two lovers parallel

Their view from a distance.

Parallel, aligned:

They watch, they long,

Desire for love, together

Fruitless, lost, wanting time..... lost.

While highest colours 

Touching others.

Hi Andrew. As I read this the first time, I kept seeing those double line markings on the road. So very true that parallels occur in life, sometimes in the romantic sector, which can have really sad consequences!!! loved this, a reflective piece, it seems to me!! great write, alf

So close yet so far :( Your work expresses the pain of not able to get our loved one forever in our life. Keep writing more :)

I'm seeing two people, on the same path, the same, but still forever separated, so sad!

Based on a SBS movie I saw where 2 couples where having dinner only to realise 2 were secretly in love with each other's partner!!
