Long Distance


Words fall
like paper snowflakes,
empty language,
promises and sighs,
a lie neither of us can control.

I ache
for your skin
against my violent pulse.
Eyes glowing,
liquid fever.
Wrap me in passion.
Show me fire,
breathe the heat.

Emotion cracks,
breaks in the ice.
You try to make me laugh.
I close my eyes.

Good night,
I love you,
good night.

Sleep peacefully.
Hold to the moon
and the light of the stars.

Remember me in your dreams.
