Fantastic poem, Mac. That center stanza produces a lovely visual, that for me, is of two people who find a love and desire for one another despite the distance between them. Beautiful written.

Thank you, A. I like to think that the distance between two people is just a measurement of time. I appreciate your comment on this poem.

the longing and questioning is palpable in these words

the last stanza though, that one packs a punch

I write 'em as I feel 'em. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one, molly.

That’s an awesome poem; I really liked the rhythm of the words you established. You drew me in, like the embrace in the first lines. 

I like that this drew you in, Parker. Thanks for reading and commenting.

This is beautiful. I feel for both these wandering souls. They should fully embrace what they have. Because it's a good thing. 

Thank you, Mike. Your comment means a lot to me.
