i sleep in darkness
it's no pleasure
it's more emptiness
than love and leisure
the dreams don't come yet
and I'm listening like mad
to what? i don't know
deep cascading water
flows through the deep realm
i'm listening
but above all
i watch and
i observe
you're right
distance really exists
but not in our dream-dom
distance really exists enorm
that's waking up
in our dream-dom
heart distance equals
so true as ever
you told me that!
and i am convinced,
my heart is happiest eversince!

I hate it when PH knocks me off before I get my post published
Sleep is rashphody. Eyes can inch the miles on geographical ground mind can map various routesto reach it but in heart even miles appears in centimetre size. Beautiful night poem.
I posted else it's lost. Congratulations for being chosen as poem of the day Sylvia
Yes, distance really exists yet when someone is in our hearts, we will never miss his / her absence. Our love will close the gap between us. A beautiful poem brilliantly woven. To my Poem List.
Through our sleep, a dream may come and it can bridge the distance for a loved one even if it is just ephemeral.
Revisiting this wonderful and discerning poem. Brilliant lines that provoke the mind.
Wonderful poem with beautiful picture and deep thoughts. Thank you!
I find this poem quite introspective and poetic---5 stars
