far off distant objects

@Uootem

I watch long drawn shadows 
formed by the distant setting sun
as it drifts beyond the horizon of today
with all its splendid color of hope
for tomorrow's sunrise promise.
far off distant objects now appear much closer
for their shadows touch me here.

This vision of wonder reminds me of how
far in the distance our love has become
since the day your feelings changed,
and made the time of my world stand in stillness.

And the awesome wonder of dusk's multi-colored miasma,
takes me back to a special place
a place once mutually shared by two young hearts
as they gazed at hope and promises with innocence.

In that place I could feel the warmth
of your hand in mine...
security in believing that forever
would always be our friend.

I can still smell the fragrance of your breath
as the evening breeze blows by me,
and the sweetened taste of your alluring lips
still linger in my mind as if touching mine now,
and the sound of your voice I still hear,
whispering what I need to know... or once thought I did.

for a moment I knew you were here
and I knew you were mine...
mistaken nonetheless for I am still alone.
and the day I dream of was a time so long ago,
when our hearts were one, joined with body and soul

Like the dawn brings back the sunrise,
and its promise for a new day....
we can bring our love back, just you and me.
at the end of the day, when dusk returns,
and far off distant objects will be much closer
for your love will at last touch me here.
