Torment of Distance

For the one I love.

Days and days I have chalked off waiting to see you again.

I lost count of how many days went by.

Uncontrollable misery made time drone on like a clock that won’t tick

 

Days turn into minutes and into seconds until I’m in your embrace again.

Intense happiness flows through my blood,

Sending me into a state of pure bliss.

 

Tears tip toe down my cheeks as our lips meet once again.

This moment couldn’t be any more perfect.

Your hand swiftly wipes my tears away as you kiss me again.

 

This embrace I’ve been longing for so long is nothing but an arm’s length away.

I cup your cheek in my hand and look into your eyes.

“I love you” escapes my lips.

 

With slow movements, I’m yours.

I feel my fingers tangle into your hair.

Biting at your lip, our breathing becomes heavy.

 

My heart starts pounding.

Our bodies become one and suddenly I can’t get enough.

I want more of you,

All of you.

 

I just can’t get close enough.

Thoughts swim through my mind.

I don’t want this feeling to end.

 

My skin tickles, like gnats dancing upon a bright light.

The hairs on my arms stand up.

And an intense feeling rushes through me like a galloping horse.

 

I just want to melt into you at once like ice cubes on a sunny day

This love is sunshine in February.

Daylight pouring down on me as the winter air kisses my nose.

 

 

 

It’s been so long since the last time I’ve seen you, but every thing comes so easy

My body moves without my permission.

Words flow out of my mouth without me saying anything.

 

This love is enchanting.

A spell put on me by my own conscious.

Like a bowl of fairy dust has been sprinkled on top of us.

 

You are a drug and I have become addicted.

There is no rehab for this,

But what’s the use of that?

 

Our love is a flowing river on a hot day.

I rush to cool myself.

The wonderful, cold water sends chills through out me.

 

Before you,

My heart was like a broken window in an abandoned home.

It had been shattered, broken, and left unfixed.

 

But you came into my life

And suddenly there was a snowstorm,

Beautiful and raging inside of me

 

Then the season changed

And I had palm trees swaying

The sand of this paradise welcoming fluttering butterflies

 

Something was cemented inside of me.

Something strong and unbreakable,

A concrete floor was set for us to build on.

 

The world we live on is such a massive place

So many people, so many “fish in the sea”

And I only want you.

 

Even Outer space, with it’s endless

Expansion of beautiful stars twinkling in my eyes,

I only see you.

"But you came into my life
And suddenly there was a snowstorm,
Beautiful and raging inside of me"
This is my favorite verse, it's gorgeous! The whole thing captured the longing and emptiness of missing him.Great job!

I enjoyed the free form to express such jubilant funny business.

"Something was cemented inside of me.
Something strong and unbreakable,
A concrete floor was set for us to build on."

Really enoyed this stanza because it uses abstract thoughts through concrete meanings.
