Far Away... Poem by Debbie DrummondHay

I feel your breath on my skin in quiet moments of solitude and thought
Your voice caresses my ears with whispers of promise yet to come
Aloneness has no place within me as I temper the heat from the warmth of your breath
My eyes close…
Fine hair raises itself on my arms and I know you are present, yet, you are far away.

Innermost love rushes out to greet the silence of my surroundings
I am lost in the moment of the inexplicable pleasure which greets your smile
Emptiness has no place here within my destitution and full spirit
I am alone….
Panic sets in at the thought of losing you here, but, you are far away.

My eyes behold your taught skin wrapped over the enigma that you are
Brown eyes searching my soul for a home to belong
Soft fingers take my hands and wrap them around your being
I am lost….
Grabbing at the air searching for you crying out at my imagination, you are, still, far away.
