The Sense Of Distance Poem by Piyush Dey

The Sense Of Distance

Rating: 5.0


Now that you are so far away,
I am reminded of the pleasure
when you weren't that far,
every time when your thought
comes swimming into my heart
from the sea of our memories.

I never thought of this moment
to be so torturous and gruesome,
Now that you are so far away,
I crave to think of you even
more than before,
i try to smile a little more.

And i want to tell you, in a
whisper, my dear, that-
I still find your presence
somewhere inside me, somewhere
where your absence doesn't
reach me,
i find you sometimes in my
dreams,
i find you sometimes when i
just happen to close my eyes.

Life is a path, my dearest,
of fire and ice, love and
hate, and we must be grateful
to it for the path which it is
leading us through, although
we don't know where we are
moving to, perhaps- we are
coming closer to each other, or
we are going a little more far
away. But my dear,
This holy nature is trying to
explain us something and we
must adore that.

This is a poem of loss but also of vision. We would all like to possess what we love, but that is not possible so often, so very often. The real test of our virtue is how we react to loss, and your poem is a noble and admirable acceptance of reality but also a vision of a higher spiritual union. The closing lines are among the most beautiful sentiments I have ever encountered on the subject of a relationship which cannot be for any of ten thousand reasons.

Beautiful and thoughtful write. Very true said distance doesn't matter. Positive flow of words... But my dear, This holy nature is trying to explain us something and we must adore that. Very true said. Though there is pain in separation but there is hope too. Loved reading it. Thanks for sharing.

It is true that absence makes the heart grow fonder! Though there is pain over the separation, still there is so much more of hope....Affirming that true love never dies! Enjoyed this beautiful expression of warm sentiments!
