The distance between us at times seems to be too many miles away Yet in my heart, you always remain the same I take solace in the fact that you are only a poem away
If I am lonely I reread every line My heart seems to beat in time It reads like a spoken word even when you have not uttered a word Your poem plays in my mind like a verse in a favorite song When I am weak it makes me feel stronger encouraging me to press on because you are really only just a poem away
The distance seems to suddenly become so thin as I begin to read your poems again or as I personally jot down yet another line as I feel more inspired Lifting me up much higher It feels like a drink of cool water on a hot summers day Yet I still at times desire some real face to face time with you You are unique and special and absolutely no one else can take your place For now I must slow my mind down into a more patient pace It seems,like just at the right time, you write another line Then you once again, become just Only A Poem Away We are bonded by both blood and by our love for words as You Are Only A Poem Away!
