Far Away From Me Poem by Leria Hawkins

Far Away From Me
Date: January 14,2015

Faraway darling, far away from me
Rising and falling, a relentless cold sea
Fierce crashing waves, eroding the shore
Wielded by whispers that sting to the core

Far flung adventure just yearning to be
More than a promise on a forbidden tree
Years flying by, out in the storm
Some cold and empty, some snug and warm

Musing of castles, shrouded in mist
Knights on white horses, maidens to kiss
Lost in a world of magical themes
Lofty illusions, not as it seems

Beyond the horizon, hidden from sight
Fueled by fires enflaming the night
Passion fruit hangs just out of reach
A ripe golden apple, with a lesson to teach

The distance is growing, the chasm is vast
Stare into darkness at memories cast
Written in ink, and carved into stone
Whispered betrayals, chill to the bone

Faraway darling, far away from me
Barriers loom, as vast as the sea
I'm sailing this ship, out in the gray
Reliving a dream…just a heartache away
