The Missed Embrace Poem by Khairul Ahsan

The Missed Embrace

Rating: 5.0


Touchable distance is closeness.
Out of reach even by a point
Is a distance.
A distance can grow wider
Even within visual contact.

Beyond visual contact
Is only for the mind to see,
Imagine and offer
Silent Prayers.

Distance starts growing step by step when first you lose physical touch, then visual contact and then eventually mental remembrance. Thanks for your nice comment, @Unwritten Soul.
