Till the Space Between Collides

A Counterpoint Poem

He: So in this we dream a poem
She: A means to touch who we are

He: Twin protagonists encased in glass
across oceans of saltwater and sand

She: Trapped inside, breath burns with agony
The mournful crash of the waves against rock

He: Desperate words fall short; measured responses fail
She: None to erase the ache; but one to circumvent

He: Beyond reach not range; his aim returns to cling to her
She: The distance that spans; until fingertips brush; caress

He: Trailing shards of trappings; runs to join, sleep and waking
She: Moment held in suspense; till the space between collides
