The Interval Of Love Poem by Seamus O' Brian

Across the depths of forever
In whispered trembles of desire
My lips have chased your name.
Beside the sea of loneliness I wander,
And with each footfall impress eternity
As my ears endure the absence of your voice
And hunger for one word breathed
To pass from your lips to my heart
And savor every texture of sound
Formed by the perfection of your mouth.
Yet here the emptiness of this abandoned
Breast, the frigid hollow of a robin's nest
Grasped by the lifeless void of winter,
So this emptiness within my chest
Where once upon your head would rest,
And pass between two bodies,
The heartbeat of one love.
