Absence Undone
~~~
How is distance measured
When like the moon
Thoughts of you break upon my shore
The tide of your gravity
Washes the sands
Amid broken shells and remnant starlight
What gap exists
When every bell rings your name
Each mermaid voice in refrain
A salt-water misted memory
Rusting in red, a love stained heart
The orchid scent that calls sweetly
Of the flowers in your hair
Your kisses blowing on the breeze
Sparkling wave-kissed flashes
The moonlit reflections that twinkle
Yet I only see your eyes
A sad reflection in your tears
Across space I feel you there
Absence is undone
As the world delivers your beauty
In all that I behold
You, my love, are never far away

This piece is simply heavenly Brad. Honestly every single line is beautifully written. Your ending is such a perfect summation of such an intensely romantic piece.
Funny you mentioned mermaids in this one. I got behind on my reading trying to write.
I don’t have a favorite line as I would just have to include every incredibly romantic word.
Hope you have an amazing day. We’re you always such a romantic Brad? Sending love as always my dear friend. 🤗💕❤️Joni
