Poem: "Bridging The Gap"

"Bridging The Gap

HE:

I lay here
in this cold space
the memory
of the beautiful lines
of your perfect form
burned forever
into my brain

I reach out to you
hoping to touch
a piece of heaven
but you are gone

Still I hold onto you
as fragments of what we shared
now replaced by distance
haunt my mind
like a familiar black and white

SHE:

Every moment away
from you seems forced
I'm condemned to
live a forlorn existence

If I could
just hear your voice
trace the lines of your face
drown in your embrace
as we fall towards the bed
our bodies intertwined in desperate need
if just once, our permanent fate
let it be so

HE:

The night sky
seems empty
the rain soaks me
to the bone

I am a wayward soul
without the compass of your love
to guide me home

If I never see you again
Please know
that nothing in this world
or the aftermath
could keep me
from you

SHE:

As I watch the sun rise
My thoughts fly to you
where ever you may be
longing to join our hearts
once more

Mutual devotion
inescapable
as our love
bridges the gap.
