From Across The Ocean

From across the ocean I hear it,
The whisper of your voice loud and clear.
I feel you breathe against my skin,
I know in my thoughts you are near.
 I long to embrace you once again,
To feel your warmth next to me,
If only I could hold you again,
But life won’t set my heart free.
Lonely is the heart that I hold,
For it cannot be, I am told,
No room to let another dream in,
Not the time for new life to begin.
I hold my thoughts and the tears I cry,
For another day when I feel you near,
My memories of another time,
Shared with the lonely memory I fear.
I listen to the waters splash,
I know it is you who have come,
For I feel the touch of your embrace,
As my heart beats like a distant drum.
Know that in my heart and my mind,
Is a spot I hold open just for you,
 For the types of love in the world,
I hold in my heart just a few.
The wind  the ocean and my memory,
A secret meant for the breeze  so free.
