Living Parallel lives

An ache a twinge
A silent cringe
An expletive uttered
Echoes in twos
Across the sphere

Laughter of children
The hoots of owls
The whisper of wind
Across the roof
Twine entwine heard

Gossamer fingers
whispers of caresses
the ardent lover smiles
kisses met in sunsets
felt at dawn in another

Friends and families
Laugher and merriment
One just gently smile
Into the distance
Answered by the other

Thin gossamer walls
Divides the distance
Of past, present and future
A heartbeat away
across the universe.
