Distance

Let me curl up, close my eyes,

forget the world exists.

Let me escape for the briefest while.

so I may visit with the stars.  

Let me know that you’re okay

to be beyond the door,

pressing your ear against

the keyhole - hour after hour.

Let me drift with thoughts of moonlight,

the touch of blazing suns.

Let me dream a world without doors 

without locks and keys and bars.

Remind me, when dawn eventually breaks

and my trance has ended,

reality waits - cool and impatient 

a surge of icy waves.

Remind me how to swim again,

and to keep my dreams in reach.

Let me drift with thoughts of moonlight,
the touch of blazing suns.
Let me dream a world without doors
without locks and keys and bars.

Truly beautiful, keep writing.

spectacular poignancy, love it, a work of art confirmed 'cause it flows and i can totally relate to it, as i read and reread your beautiful poem's concepts i'm transported wistfully and you got the point across
