So Far Away

~ a romantic scribble ~

~ Paris Nights by Mark Spain ~

 

 

 

So far away

and yet

when the night is warm and the air is thick

and the motion of the breeze
gently

tickles my skin

…like your soft breath
on the nape of my neck…

oh oui mon amour

suddenly
you are here

 

and before I can focus

before I remember

 

my lips whisper

stay

 

…floating

like a secret

on the warm night air…

 

for a moment

I am yours

The longing for that someone special.....I am struggling with this every day. The chance to hear her voice, feel her touch is like a dream but a nightmare too. I close my eyes and see her and know that patience is what is needed if my love is so strong.

This is simply touching and resinates with me.

Regards
Troy

Memories haunt us sometimes but we would rather have them than have nothing at all.Really great sweet Jules :)

[MAD ENGLISHMAN]

The memories that haunt us can often play tricks on us. They say love never dies and at time like these it seems so true.
A lovely poem.

Thank you my sweet friend :) Julie

Involuntary surrender is surrender nonetheless... You captured me with "stay"...
Even if only for a moment,
It was a glorious reflex of realization.

[Aethereal]

Like a seed sprouting in the Spring, passions "suddenly" reach a crescendo, and "stay" their ground. The Eiffel Tower sprouts skyward in April showing the way.

Your comments are poetry my sweet friend! :) Julie

[Madalyn Beck]

This is beautiful. I heard the word "stay" ringing in my ears through the end of this write. Then at the end, "I am yours" left a sweet lingering essence.

Beautifully composed piece!! I love this! xo :)

[MsJewel]

The whole poem made me smile when I was reading it! It reminded me of how being in love can make us feel like we are in a dream and how being with the one we love can make us feel so elated.
