This Country In Between Poem by Res John Burman

Every flower I send you
Is yet another kiss
Upon your lovely lips
Every petal I send you
Is a caress upon your soul
My body lying so close
You can feel my heat
And you will feel my love
All you have to do
Is reach out, connect
Bridge this tiny gap
This country in between
Complete the circuit
And when we finally touch
Twill be like fire
And twill be like ice
But every kiss upon your breast
Will be like a rose petal
falling
Upon the ground it loves
