Distance makes the heart grow fonder
Not too near, but over yonder
Longing to wrap you in my arms
And woo you with my boyish charm

Whisper words of sweet delight
The essence of how how I feel
Under skies of pale moonlight
In hopes to seal the deal

These are the dreams I have at night
My heart you’ve gotten hold
Dancing in poetic form
Is something to behold

I soak in your attendance
Your spoken words like music to my ears
But, my dreams only seem to fade away
When reality draws near

You’re far into the distance
Across the hemisphere
So I’ll bow my head in silent jest
And wipe away my tears

Until the day I can hold your hand
Till I can look you in your eyes
Although you are so far away
Please know that you’re my prize
A bundle of joy
Smiles and grins
A twinkle, a star
And so it begins
Light of my life
Heartfelt rejoice
A sweet baby boy
With a sweet baby voice
A toddler, a child
A grownups love
Heaven on earth
Sent from above
The worst part about being lonely is the yearning
The fire in my heart remains burning
I don’t worry about it too much; it’s not concerning
As the dials on the clock continue turning

Most days it doesn’t bother me
Some days it’s overwhelming
To be with another
Just might keep my heart from swelling

It might be worth getting torn apart
Then again, maybe it wouldn’t
It’s hard to say what would come of it
But it seems to be a deterrent

It’s the notion that keeps me going
When the feeling shows it’s face
Loneliness consumes my thoughts
But I know it’s not a race

Only a moment in the scheme of things
A flicker in the night
That has me thinking of my loneliness
That doesn’t feel quite right
Wide awake at 3am
Tired-less
Defenseless against the clock
Powerless over time

Closed eyes denied
Restless
Ruthless
Darkness defied
In the back of my mind

Sheep are on strike
With no end in sight
Time to fight or take flight
In the heat of the night

Predictably unbearable
What are my rights?
Can anyone relate
To my unjustified plight?
Moon shadow glistening over salt water seas
Beach sand covered feet
Salt water breeze

Full moon looking like a big wheel of cheese
Calm and serine
Mind put at ease

Waves crashing at the base of the beach
The sky seems within reach
The moment
increased
By a fatal disease

Lying down;
Resting in peace
No need to worry
It’s just a figure of speech
Spiritual euphoria
I begin to swoon
Dancing with the spirits
Healing open wounds
At one with the universe
On any given opportune
Staving off the sickness
To which I’ve become immune
In rhythm with my chakra
Not a moment too soon
Proned to mass hysteria
Howling at the moon
As they say “parting, is such sweet sorrow”

What will she do when he leaves her come tomorrow?

He might be their‘s, but he’s only theirs to borrow

While he’s away, she’ll  be empty, she’ll  be hallow

A kiss, a kiss
Was the thing that they most missed

While away, every day
Protecting their homeland

She prayed, she prayed
To protect her Navy man

And on the day of his return
She scurried to the base

To meet her man, to meet her man
And kiss him on his face

When their eyes met, when their eyes met
He took her by the hand

And kissed her deep with all his might

Under the moonlight, on dry land

A day unlike any other day
Arrived as quick as could be

A reason to rejoice had come
Expecting a new baby 👶🏻

Their love for one another
Had produced a baby boy

And this affair between two lovers
Ended with great joy
