Do not think me unkind, for this
Our simple exchange cannot bear
The distance that excludes a kiss
Where lips should meet, is only air.

The space between our outstretched hands
Defies their effort to embrace
The contrast that is both our lands
Makes distance often more than space.

The thunderous roar of water spray
Upon your shore is deafening
How quickly it will wash away
The matter of our chance meeting

I feel –my heart is strong and sure
Yet ears are deaf to waterfall
So while I love you sweet and pure
It doesn’t matter here at all.

This title caught my eye - as I think almost eveyone I know has written something about-distant shores - so it is always interesting to see variations on this theme - you have captured the feelings well - gentlly letting go - nice work.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
