Silent Kiss Poem by MAXINE P. SOSO

I've kissed your lips
a thousand times in my mind
I can only see
who you appear to be
behind my computer screen
Something inside me
cried out
I wanted you
but...
I couldn't touch you
because...
you were behind glass walls
that kept us apart
My heart was aching
I was shaking
on edge
I wanted to hold you
so, I tried pulling you in
through my walls of glass
but, that didn't last
My heart was shattered
it didn't matter
that the distance between us
was enormous
no way of breaking through
I still want you
I'll continue to kiss you
A silent kiss from your lips
though it's all in my mind
