Cloudy Eyes

So close, and
Yet so far away
Together
Things fall in place
The world is sound
Doubts gone from my
Mind
Nothing else to rather do
Than enjoy
Quiet serenity
Of something I never thought
I’d have

Apart
Distance so large
Threatening to choke
The fear
To reach out to the one
Who shouldn’t need to be asked
Afraid of what to find
Rejection
Anger
The confirmation of everything feared
Even though that reality
Is the opposite of
Everything sensed
When those lips
Touch mine.
