Exquisite Corpse and Other Collaborations - 6. From Afar
This poem was quite personal. Rather than preface it with an explanation, I'll just let it rest here.
My mind often slips to you when i know it should not
i love you from afar, though i will never see you
but you know my heart across all those miles
because i cannot hide my truth from you
Even though we shall never meet
These miles of agonizing separation
Cannot alter the connection we share
you and I are of the same ilk, bonded
Sometimes my longing for you is agony
i cry tears you will never see
i wish for the impossible, a chance to serve
to touch skin i can only dream of knowing
Encounters with you kidnap my thoughts
Arouse me to the point of senselessness
Yet I continue to envision them
Revolving images of a bound and patient boy
Closing my eyes, i can hear your voice
misty scenes clear and i am waiting for you
eyes downcast, silently i beg for your touch
for me, be it pain, or a kiss, from you it is love
At times I am taunted by your absence
Those tangible elements I’ll never savor
But you are a magnet that draws the world’s affection
And I find consolation in the fortune of knowing you
Thank you for reading.
