"Long Distance"

Mr. Africa Poetry Lounge!

I Had Never Felt Such Sweet Rapture
When the Departure of Your Sound
Plummeted Me to My Knees
As I Contemplated
The
Thought of You
Being Nearer
And
I Wished
That
"Long Distance"
Wasn't So Far Away
Then
My Imagination Conceived
The Possibility
of
Touch
Through Meditation
Your Mind in Succession
With Mine
At the Same Time
And
Never Such Elation Felt
When
The Power of Your Touch
Came Back to Me
Through
"Long Distance"
And
Then I Prayed...Again
With
Prayers of Gratitude
To God
For Meeting You...Very Pleased to Meet You
From a Very
Long Distance
