Watching the Stars

A love poem of longing ....

I stand and watch the stars

So bright up in the sky

And know than many miles away

They twinkle in your eye

For distance is irrelevant

When deepest love we share

The memory of your touch

Just wipes away all cares

And though my heart aches softly

Whilst my arms are empty too

I just remember all the things

That I have shared with you

It makes the days go easier

And helps me through the nights

So that I’ll wait here patiently

For your sweet soft delights

I’ve never known a love before

That makes me see so clear

And gives me gentle calmness

As I wait for future years

For we are always soulmates

With laughter there to share

And passion bubbling gently

Awaiting time to flare

I feel the sweetness of your lips

Your sensual bright touch

And every sense within me

Shouts I love you so much

So when the time is ready

Return back here to me

And in my arms I’ll welcome you

For all eternity

This is lovely, Phil.

I cannot tell you how many times I've taken comfort in knowing we are all under the same sky, the same stars.
That idea has always comforted me. I do hope you don't have to wait long.... you deserve better than to wait an eternity my friend.

My best to you, always

Your romantic soul flew with this one Phil and I'm sure the strength of your love flew to the stars and straight into her eyes.

beautiful

Very romantic,Phil! Thanks for sharing.I could imagine how a person reaches things when he's full of love;There's an energy that moves him vigorously,and there's ever hope to wait,even if it's prolonged.

sigh... just beautiful. So touching and comforting that your distant love is looking up at the same stars. Very nice.

Inspirational piece of work. Everything about it is filled with so much love and I totally love the idea of the stars twinkling in eyes - wish I had thought of that. I enjoyed the lightness of the language used and the style. This is certainly going to test my own poems of this nature........thanks for sending.

[SweetPeachesAlways]

Oh, Phil...apart? But I so see you together! Such beautiful words to mask the pain...

[Beautifully Tragic xPoe..]

I love your soul - it is deep and romantic - silky, warm depths of it flow out from the pieces you write.
Like this one. Watching the Stars. My favorite thing. Lovely.

'I stand and watch the stars
So bright up in the sky
And know than many miles away
They twinkle in your eye...'

Silky, cosy, comforting thoughts.
