Across Miles And Years
By La Belle Rouge

i don’t know why i cry
everytime i read your words
or why i feel you so close
i could reach out and touch you

i don’t know how an embrace
can reach across an ocean
or an imaginary kiss bind hearts
that don’t beat against each other

i don’t know who you are
or what forces shaped you
to become such an endearing poet,
gentle man, passionate lover

i only know our souls connect
on a plane far above our flesh
i only know, i feel your love
beyond words, beyond miles

i will never hold you close
or kiss you without the distance
but for years i have loved you
and prayed for another to hold you
