Saturday’s Poem

I’ve talked about my love of poetry before so I’m going to start posting poetry on Saturdays. Sometimes it’ll be mine like today, and others will be those I encounter that move me.

I Crave You

Too many miles between us –

might as well be a galaxy.

Too many hours till I see you –

might as well be a century.

My heartstrings are too taut.

They will not break if I can just

make time move faster.

So I fill my days with busyness,

but the longing does not fade and as

I lay my head on my pillow, exhausted,

I crave you.

I always welcome feedback on my art. Please be kind.
