Dear Beautiful.........

the distance between us
   burns at my skin....
your voice in the air
   touches me like no other nor any sweet sin....
my flesh cries out in the darkness for you
   while my soul shrinks in the daylight
     where there's thousands of miles of earth and water to deny us

in the night your voice comes to me
   like a light on my blackened heart....
in our land of dreams
   we share a smile....
in our reality
   we dream of a shared breath....
                      of a stolen moment....
                                                 .....of a much longed for embrace
