A Love Apart

A poem about loving someone who is not near you.

When the world breathes

 �"Life entwined, popping up around the movement �"

There is a pulse and a rhythm,

A preciseness to what cannot be measured.

 We belong to this chaos as we hope to cross paths.

The earth rolls over in its sleep here,

The ocean stretches itself awake there.

Though we count our steps apart,

We are living closer than we know.

The wind touching your face,

Touches mine also.

It carries your scent.

You are with me.

The sun which warms me,

Warms you also.

It brings happiness.

Are you not with me?

The given imagery is beautiful, and your words radiate an endearing intimacy while emitting an immense hope that is nevertheless teasing. I find myself resonating.

You're very sweet ms. hoffmann. This was written to comfort someone that I was talking to long distance. You are right about the teasing part lol

Your poem made me think of a guy I once thought I knew. If he had written me this, I would have been on the very first plane crossing the ocean that kept us apart immediately after having read it. You're beautiful, your words reveal it. Thank you for sharing your writings. I do take pleasure in coming here to read.
