THE GHOSTS OF DISTANCE

Scissions of love kept haplessly apart
Festering bruises the pain of longing breeds
Love that felt alive a moment back
Stands on the edge of wavering whims

Of pain and distance and desires unfulfilled
Of songs unsung and walks unfinished 
Of you and me and our sporadic sprees 
Steady love, where art thee?

Love unrealised...is love lost?
As time crunches in ageing chaos
Blooming years of fire & youth 
Enervating in life's withering moors. 

The voice that feels way light years away
The kiss that lingers in impalpable haze
That shadowy face, impeccable when real
Now sways in delusion, in hopeless demeanor. 

Steady love. Where art thou?
I have searched for you in raging bouts 
The penumbra of love lurks about 
The heart dismayed in a dreary rout. 

Love asunder...come around. 
Lurking in the deeps of moldering mounds
Too long have you loomed in spaces dark
Too long have I sought that priceless spark. 

Faithful love. Love in sight.
Resurging memories of starry nights 
Of times when time relinquished its sway
And timeless love had its way. 

For love that's real is a rare find
Colossal visions of immaculate shine 
Tenacious faith finds its way
And ghosts of distance fade away.
