Loving Apart

If only she could gaze deeply into his eyes....
If only he could gently touch her soft warm skin....
Two lovers yearning for each other
Across the ether,
Through the vastness of time and distance.

Defying all odds
They met,
They sparked,
They glowed,
Together they burned hotter than the sun
With desire and delight.
He can see her warm smile
That shines exclusively for him.
She bares a little skin
And waits like a virgin
For that first soft touch she knows
She will never feel
Because his hands seem light years away,
But she can see the love that lights his face,
That sets her heart afire,
Knowing that he feels it, too,
Because he says so.

There is so much love between them
That will never be felt, tasted, touched....
Intimate sounds
They will never hear,
Their voices low and sweet in each other's ear.
No skin on skin.
No tongues entwined.
None of the intimate rustles
Of love divine....
Time forbids.
Distance forbids.
But as they gaze, murmur, share
Only with their longing eyes,
Their minds caress each other
And they are one......

...end video call...
