My Heart Speaks

Long distance love can be maddening at times. But with a little faith and a whole lot of sincerity, love would take over and cross oceans, bridging limitations and uniting hearts. (For you, St_____. I miss you so damn much.)



My Heart Speaks


Let my words bridge the distance between us
Every letter, every space, every nuance of expression
Conveys feelings, numbering a multitude
A hundred, a thousand, a million; too many to mention
Each one intense-pulsating with life, moving with passion
Let my words banish the times spent in isolation
Dry up our tears of loneliness, warm our freezing souls
Melt the icy coldness of our hearts; revive our spirits 

Free us, so we can embrace eternity, entwining our paths
Let my words calm your weary heart, assure you of tomorrow
Bring light to your days, and be the sunshine behind your smile
Words, though nothing more than a jumble of letters and spaces
Are all we have at this moment-whether spoken or written
Conveyed through the softness of this voice or the dexterity of my mind
For now, my words alone can open the doors for us
And set our minds, unite our lives en route to the path of understanding

An understanding that belies reason, transcending meaning
Making you see beyond your fears and apprehensions
Telling you how my heart stays true though I am not before you
Soothing your heart and mine, and banishing the loneliness of the years
Let my words take presence and paint the promise of love
Color our somber gray world a blazing red and orange
Let my words be the loving kiss to lull you to sleep
Every night that I am not there to be by your side

These words...these words...Are all that is given to us
These words...these words...They are my freedom
They set my feelings in stone, so waste them not
Take them, absorb them, let them pierce your heart and mind
As you are lead to understanding 
Understanding that true love is what I have for you
The kind of true love more than any word I can say,
That kind of love so true nowhere else you can find.
