In the distance

So far away

 

In the distance

 

Where does your sun rise (for my heart longs this place)

Does my breath mingle with yours across the miles

Now as you stir in the new dawn’s glow

Can you hear my beating heart echo

While brewing your morning cup

Do your thoughts whisper me

As you embrace the light

Shining of the new day

Touching your skin

With the warmth

That I want

To be

 

For...

 

It is

Here I sit

In a dark office

Staring to the east

Dreaming of fairer days

Sipping from a staled cup

Counting the scattered minutes

Desperately trying to put into words

The depth of the affection and aching desires

Causing the emptiness in this lonely life to breathe

Hiding the pain of my wanting soul behind a seamed smile   

Sending my love out to only you (for you are my forever sunrise)

 

In the distance

As I look at this I am reminded of those optical illusion pictures...you know, is it a vase, is it two people's faces...
Is this a pointer...like an arrowhead? Will it lead you to her?
Sweet love...
Well done.
OH, and the picture is perfect.

Niiice! This is impressive, Jack - the format is really well constructed, and the poem itself is wonderful. I love the parallels from the daydream about the beloved, to the wistful dreamer himself. Great poetry here!

Thanks so much Rita. I do love my sunrises.

Wow! Excellent poetry. I like the format/shape of your poem, as well as the image. I love the concept...the words are breath-taking. Everything is just perfect!
What's that shape you are portraying? Is that letter K for someone special? Lol. I'm not a gossiper...I'm a joker. Smile. :)
Liked this so much. :)

Thank you so much Dhaye. Honestly it is just how it happened as I started writing it. It was that way on the top, so I had to make it that way on the botton. I'm kind of a pattern guy. :)

You have done a great job here. You're welcome, Jack. :)
