"Discord of Time and Distance"

Discord of time and distance
Your reasoning
Inside tacit expression
Is it the winter's cold,
or the summer's heat?
Trepidation overlapping promises
Coveting your heart
Unable to merge with mine
Still you return
An offering in measurement

I need, I desire…
All of you
Not in bits and pieces

You...
Give up
Melting little by little
Within perplexity's frame
Feelings running deep
Confusion running deeper

My hand reaches out
Unmet by you
Tenderness hardened by stone
Protective wall built so high
You’ve become the wall

With sweet caress of love
I'll say goodbye
When night no longer holds the moon
nor daylight the sun
In this myriad jungle called life
Without you

Your love sustained
Evermore in my soul
Awaiting stormy clouds
To bring a healing rain
And shooting stars ascend
Illuminating your path
Nearer to me

As I wait until...
another spring
