Photo stares back into my eyes, my eyes staring into the eyes in the photo;
But does she know?
And I could literally raise the very sun with crow of fire, fluff the feathers
Of my desires!
But does she, so far away, know I want to show my love from cove of soul;
My treasure trove?
Same world, but worlds apart play part in ripping my heart apart so soon
As I start to stare…
But I can’t help myself; staring leads to an imagined life, feeds the fantasy,
Never satisfies need.
But does she know? Can she see? Does she look at me, too, as I look at her
Far away every day?
Ah, maybe the imagining is better? No, and neither can the letter replace
Fetters of distance.
And my God, it hurts … To love somebody so far away
.

Very true long distance love is very difficult. I liked your poem very touching.
Does it hurt to love someone far away or does it hurts more to love someone so near yet so far? Beautiful poem, just prickling my heart.
Oh my! What an insightful and poignant question! In fact, I’d like to invite my followers to answer this very question you ask: Does it hurt to love someone far away, or does it hurt more to love someone so near yet so far?
NOTE TO FOLLOWERS: CHALLENGE IN ABOVE QUESTION… Answer in prose, poetry, poetic prose, photography, art work, etc.!
Thank you, Kally!
Hahaha! You’re most welcome! Glad to contribute to your inspiration.
Love this piece
As always Sheldon
This is beautiful.. yes it’s true it is really hard to have your love so far away but still if there is trust and loyalty the hurt will be covered by happiness..
And, perhaps, someday somewhere along the line the distance will be “covered,” too! 😉
True and it will be the happiest day of our life 😉
