Whispers from a distance

How far can you whisper?

Whispers from a distance

by jack

 

 

Whispers from a distance

A filtering of sound

Sifting through the twilight

When no one is around

 

Simple in translation

Comforting and free

Touching every treetop

Sent to you from me

 

Neath a starlight shining

Sunset on the mist

True in its affection

Upon your ears now kissed

 

Finding of its journey

Hope to call my own

Standing here this evening

My heart is not alone

 

Careful words are chosen

Thoughts provide the proof

Oceans in between us

Whispers carry truth

 

Phrases in the moonlight

Spoken steady pace

Heaven hears my promises

Made tonight, this place

 

Hear, for I have spoken

A sentence soft and true

In whispers from a distance

Saying I love you

[Jack...]

[Tate Morgan]

Awe jack that was exquisitely done and finished with a flourish

Thanks so much my friend.

[Frieda P]

Being Italiano, I'm pretty sure we;re incapable of whispering at all but I read very well and this is coming through loud and clear...a soft sweet blush. Reminds me of that old Hermit's song...'there's a kind of hush, all over the world'.....

[Jack...]

I'm sorry, what did you say? Could you speak up please?

Thanks so much Frieda, I truly appreciate you.

i am relating to all of these "distance" love poems...we are counting the days till we are together again...and all during the days i think we whisper each other's name...

time slows for the longing heart.

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Jacob. Seems like a good theme.

Song perfect!
Meter conjures dancing Elves
round a crackling fire-place in the shadow of the woods...

[Jack...]

Thank you so much

[poetry-kiddo alienbaba]

You are welcome Jack

Hmm... sometimes I think you've read my mind or were here reading my poems long before I realized it. A tone and thought I relate to... from a past I wrote of often (way, way too often, but still...) :)

Lovely writing. It is hard when the heart has been broken or longed for another that is out of reach. You capture the feelings, romance, love very well. A favorite (of course)

[Jack...]

Ah yes, I do understand. Thank you so much Dear Sera, I am happy you could relate to this. And now that I glance at it again, how appropriate it is for you and you love so very far away. Thank you again.

[Emerald Seas]

Oh... ahem! lol... yes, the husband... of course! Yes, that is exactly whom I was referring... jeez. lol... My hubby is fantastic and I do love him dearly! However, I am an honest sort... I was referring to my twisted up/head to the desk/wigged out behavior over a friend that jumped ship on me during the start of a rocky year of crapola!
On those rare moments of sanity I reflect and, it was probably the best thing he did for me, but I still get twisted up that we can't even talk to each other. Hell, if I can manage to talk to my husband about it all, you'd think the friend could come around... oh well.
Yes, the hubby... where the hell is he again? :) Why is it when the end is in sight, it seems to get harder? Light at the end of the tunnel (soonish)

[Jack...]

Hmmmm, I wasn't too clear on who I was talking about...I used the word "love" to be on the safe side, but now that you have brought it up. :)>

I personally do not understand people at times, especially men. I mean, why won't he talk to you? Is his heart that broken or his ego too big? I can honestly say that every woman I ever had feelings for and vice versa, I am still friends with. Not an everyday talking kind of friendship, but I think highly of them and have communicated from time to time. I do my best not to create enemies, though I am sure I have a few somewhere, no one that crosses my mind.

[Emerald Seas]

Oh, I honestly don't know... I think there were many things going on at the time. I had a "scare" that I let my head get a little batty for a while on letting people know how I felt "in case" - blah, blah, blah... also I think it could be one, both or neither of the reasons you mention. I assume (because I do hate gossip) that there was a lot of banter going on between mutual friends/acquaintances that I can only imagine added "whatever" to the mix. I have my assumptions on some things, but I have always wanted a dialog to understand what all was going on from his end (and to explain my insanity spell while I went through some cancer stuff) and not let the "information" from some people skew my thoughts... but after a year of trying every few months or so... I have let it go. If he ever wants to talk - he knows where to find me. I too, have never had something like this happen to me - and I honestly thought we'd always be friends. It blindsided me, and it hurt for a number of reasons... mainly I think the sudden silence and lack of knowing why has haunted me - but I gotta let it go.

[Jack...]

Well Dear Sera, if you ever need a friend. I listen very good.

[Emerald Seas]

Thank you, but the only one that I need to talk things out with has no interest. So it sits the way it sits... and we go on :)

[Jack...]

Just offering...

[Emerald Seas]

I understand, and appreciate the gesture :) This particular topic has only one remedy at this point. However, thank you. We all need friends, and I do consider you a dear friend! Thank you, again

Thank you so very much. It was written for someone special to me, however, I do not think they realize just how much.

"Phrases in the moonlight

Heaven hears my promises
Made tonight, this place

Hear, for I have spoken
A sentence soft and true
In whispers from a distance
Saying I love you."
Other than the awesome title that is so poetic the whole piece is great and touching to the deepest levels. But that ending. Oh, my ...:)

[Jack...]

Thanks you so much my friend

[Sami Khalil]

Any time dear poet and friend...:)
