Faraway From You Poem by RIC BASTASA

Faraway From You

Rating: 5.0


i have traversed so much distance,

got that this sense of being far away
where no intimacy can reach me as i

avoided that which is so near that which i cannot touch
because nearness is blindness

and when i become so blind how can i see the beauty of color

the coolness of the wind in you
the blueness of your affection

it is this distance that makes me see the rainbow
which i carried in my heart

it has the scent of longing
the you

so far away from me and yet still becomes my own shadow
when i sleep and dream


you are still beside me, and then we are one again
in wanting to forget


i shall fool love again and make it believe that
there is you

there is none
really there is none

what is there is this pain
my own shadow in your shadow
