Lovers Parted

[rhymetime]

My Love,
I sit and ponder.
Could our hearts for others wander
and we no longer love?
Could time an indifference create,
could absence a blindness generate,
to a love we once saw clearly?
I fear and tremble that apart
no loving thoughts will warm your heart
and you will seek another.


Oh send to me through space and time
the message that your love sublime
still burns for me alone.
For I cry tears of emptiness
missing, as I do, your loves caress,
your warmth, your smile, your gentleness,
how I long to see you.
Your voice to hear, your kiss to taste,
to hold you close in loves embrace.
My love come quickly to me,
that I again might smile and sigh,
that tears of joy my eyes might cry
to wash away this sadness.

For I alone am but a shell.
Tis when your love within me dwells
that I begin to live.
So my darling, while we're apart
keep our love- my life- within your heart.
I, our love, will cherish here
'till once again I hold you near.

A beautiful lover's lament rhymetime - that I, myself, have often sung when my husband and I had to spend time apart due to work obligations. The waiting time between is so very difficult and you captured that perfectly...and so much more eloquently than I've ever been able to do.

[rhymetime]

Thank you so much. You have my permission to write it to him and tell him it is from you.. You do not lack eloquence. you have heart and love- the rest is bullshit

Ah, thank you. It ended very well. some day I may share the story that produced this. A great love story- not my own

Thank you. I wish I could say more. I hope you know how much your praise means to me. I thank you most humbly and with the greatest respect.

Truly, devastatingly gorgeous, rhymetime. I think you captured those sickeningly lonely moments perfectly.

Very touching, rhymetime! This the kind of stuff that brings lovers to their knees!
