Romantic Poetry by Modern Poets

   

Waiting  

 
The wait until we next touch seems interminable,
   an ache at my center bringing a deep longing
  for the fullness that we know when together.

Apart, we feel each other’s words and thoughts ...
Like the sympathetic vibration of guitar strings
  we share the same sensations,
  revel in responding to subtle nuances
  during our personal interactions.

We long to be close, touch,
   side-by-side dream lover’s dreams.
Drifting off to sleep with your head on my shoulder,
   awakening to soft kisses over a common mug of coffee.

Our longing – like our love – continues to mature and
   be refined with a purity of purpose.

Separated by miles or holding hands,
   our love stands alone as we speak
  heart to heart.
