Jarring noise shatters the darkness.
Clawing through the fog of sleep
I reach out,
heart pounding
anticipation,
excitement.
Her voice cradles me.
Carrying me through the fog
safely,
gently
delivering me to the morning.
Bliss,
happiness,
love,
contentment
fill my heart.
Dreams remembered and shared,
giggles turn to laughs
as the new day dawns.
Time marches on
and the day will not wait;
the darkness comes again -
this time from within.
The click of the line
so subtle,
so final;
she is gone -
for now.
Alone again
waiting and pining
for the next moment of bliss.
Stepping from the plane,
eyes finally locked
where hearts have always been:
Together.
Her cheek pressed to mine
my arms around her,
hearts beat together as one.
Bliss
happiness,
love,
contentment
fill my heart.
Dreams realized and created anew,
giggles and laughs abound,
united for now.
Time marches on
The week has passed;
dismal goodbyes and returned longing
plague two souls
torn apart by circumstance
Walking away
so unnatural,
so wrong.
My heart rips slowly in two
Until the next moment of bliss.
Missed calls,
lost messages,
life's habit of interfering
with the delicate balance
of long distance love.
One day, my sweet,
our bliss
will cease to be momentary.

LadyJeanneabout 19 years agopoignantly and eloquently capture the heights and depths of long distance love. Beautifully written and deeply affecting. Thank you for sharing this with us. LJ
BlackShanglanabout 19 years agoIt is inherently difficult to write well about meeting long-distance lovers. We've all heard the story quite often. But this poem does a wonderful job with this challenging topic. It starts with a startle that is conveyed nicely to the reader, and moves beautifully through simple, powerful phrases like "The click of the line/ so subtle, /so final" to build empathy and interest. The last two stanzas I found absolutely superb and deeply moving in their quiet recognition of reality weighed with hope and love. Excellent work, Lucky.
impressiveover 19 years ago... will feel this way about ME. The ache jumped off the screen and right into my heart. ~Imp
Anonymousover 19 years agobeing 1000 miles away from the one i love....i can assure you lady that you hit the nail on the head...it is as it is...nice job and well done....i hope you see her soon...and not just in your dreams!
Belegonover 19 years agoWas it deliberate to use so many one word lines? It forces you to read it more slowly, thus reinforcing the point about the longing for continuation of long distance love.
Nice job sexy.
