Distance Poem by Laura Anne

I can't see you
I can't smell you
I can't touch you
And I can't feel you
But, somehow, I know you're there.

A distance, so brutally far
a feeling, so uncomfortably near
it fills me with want and desire
And I realize- I must not conspire.

I can't see you
I can't smell you
I can't touch you
And I can't feel you
But, somehow, I know you're there.

I long to hear your voice once more
It fills me with such exhilaration
and then leave me in despair.
Fill my soul once more with your strong tone
and then yank it away, as we say, 'So long'.

I can't see you
I can't smell you
I can't touch you
And I can't taste you
But, somehow, I feel I could.

Why does my heart beat so rapidly
at one little thought of you...
I long for you to touch me, hold me
Press your sweet, warm body to mine
Oh, give me pleasures I could have never imagined....

I can't see you
I can't smell you
I can imagine
and I can't touch you.
Somehow I feel we're beyond that.

We are two - united from the start
meant to teach, to love, to comfort, and caress.
I could never let go of you
Even though there is nothing to grasp
