As Distant As The Stars

***
Bittersweet the words I speak
 
Beyond the distance you can hear
 
Beyond the reach of my touch
 
My lips
 
My gaze
 
But not the desire of my heart
 
For always my heart reaches out for you
 
Calls to you
 
Mi Corazon
 
You’re the deep scent of dreams which fill my day
 
So ordinary and so plain
 
With the beauty which I yearn to hold
 
For so pass my days
 
Losing myself in thoughts of you
 
The sighing of the wind
 
Your breath on my skin
 
The blue of the sky
 
Your eyes
 
You’re the half glimpsed
 
Out of the corner of my eye
 
The presence felt -
 
But looked for
 
- Not there

 
But you are here with me my love
 
In the calm stillness of the moments
 
When heart deep
 
I think of you
 
If only my heart could speak the words
 
My voice tries to
 
But cannot find
 
For somehow a man is always bound by lesser things
 
Like the frailty of words
 
And the distance of miles…
 
If only these things like autumn leaves
 
Would fall away
 
Leaving my love for you unveiled
 
Can you not feel my love for you
 
Even if only by chance
 
For I imagine you love me
 
…could love me
 
If only it were true
 
What is our truth
 
A moment to drink deep of the mystery of your eyes
 
To touch you and feel the electric
 
Of all I’ve longed and wished to be
 
The crush of a kiss
 
Your breath
 
The taste of everything I’ve missed
 
Your body pressed tight
 
So tight
 
The want of you
 
Would never escape your mind
 
For you would know me true
 
All bearings lost in that storm too long a brewing
 
Let me touch you
 
And my mind escape the dream
 
For the real that lives and breathes
 
Whose skin yields to the strength of my touch
 
Passion driven
 
We two caught in the dance of fools in love
 
And powerless so
 
To do less or more than fall
 
For lovers always do ~
 

Even if as distant as the stars
To me beauty bears your name
