Song Of Lost Love Poem by Barry Middleton

So far away, you are my love,
yet I can never hear your voice.
Beyond my walls and lost in time,
I still cannot revoke your choice.

And I would never have it thus,
for truest love is not a toy.
And still I wish there was a way,
a hidden bridge I might employ.

Though I cannot caress your soul,
yet I would hold you for a time.
But in the bond of poetry,
there is a hint of the sublime.

And so these lines contain a plea,
an echo on the wind that calls.
It prays that you remember me,
beyond the time when silence falls.
