Each Night

The distance separating two yearning hearts is as short as a stone's throw, but as vast as a thousand oceans.

With each breath,

I breathe your name

Each heartbeat skips,

Because I think of you

How can the distance be shorter,

But the longing twice as strong?

 

Each night,

I feel the ghost of your arms around me,

Each night,

My soul cries out for yours

Each night,

An ache consuming my entire being,

Each night,

Reminds me of your absence

 

For now,

I can only dream,

Dream of the bliss of being in your arms again

I can’t help but smile at the thought:

Simply hugging you,

Because I can,

Whispering that I love you,

Before drifting to sleep

 

Each night,

I feel the ghost of your arms around me,

Each night,

My soul cries out for yours

Each night,

An ache consuming my entire being,

Each night,

Reminds me of your absence

 

So now,

I count down

The months,

The weeks,

The days,

Until I’m with you again

Reliving memories of you,

Until my skin prickles,

With needing you

 

Each night,

I feel the ghost of your arms around me,

Each night,

My soul cries out for yours

Each night,

An ache consuming my entire being,

Each night,

 

Reminds me that you’re not here

Such a sad write here, I can feel the longing. Flowed well as well.

When we are apart and time is added. Your words are true. Feel like ghosts are in our life. The memories haunt us and we must stand alone. I like this poem. A very good story. A excellent poem. Thank you.

That's a really good show of emotions.. I also think it would make a great song. Great work!

You're longing; it reflects in your works. I must say this one's better than the other one. Great imagery, nice string of words. Great write (:
