The Long Distance Relationship, that Was

Mr. Africa Poetry Lounge!

I have not heard from you
You.
You lover of mine
the one who swims
in the bloodstreams
the lovestreams
of my heart.
This heart.
My heart is bleeding
longing
yearning
hurting
beating for you.
You.
and I.
I am reaching
stretching
giving
hoping
my touches to
you
but the distance
A Wall
blocks You.
and I.
You.
For you are
the glitter of my eyes
the blue of my sky
You.
You put the swing in my hips
the smile in my lips
the high in my bliss
You.
And I.
I remember how we used to be.
You & I were inseperable
like glue
an agglutinate
couple coalesced
in a glut
of real BLACK love.
But since that move, its been You.
and I.
I have not heard from you
nor have I seen you
in a while.
A long while.
You.
Your voice is muffled
Your face is blurrred
Your love for me
the memories of we
I fear is being
washed away
numbed in a cold in May
gone astray
in these days
that seperates
the weeks
the months
the times
that love needs love.
You.
Why???
Ohhhhhhhh..... (my tears begin to flow)
You.
I miss you
But distance...
Pulling us a-
way
Away.
You.
and I.
Going our seperate ways.
