THE ABSENT HEART

THE ABSENT HEART read by the author

You and I rode upon that line

Puffing Billy stretched in time

Through tunnels of Despair and Fight

Emerging always into Light

And feat of loving oneness


Closeness earned by years that flew

Combining us in thoughts that knew

Not whence they came

But out of frame

Of lovers lips that speak the same

And know the name

Of Instant Intuition


Where my thoughts start and your thoughts stop

Have blurred with time and lovers crop

Turned back in seed to close the seam

To join as one in lovers dream

To glean

Happiness within this Vale of Tears


Tonight my love my thoughts do leap

Within a Sovereign's Castle Keep

Guarded in privilege,wealth and power


Yet wanting you in thought so deep

Most precious jewel I could seek


Missing you my love, but more, much more...

Knowing that value rides

Upon seeing things with shared eyes


Sweetness in my life

I want to say for true

That you live in my heart

And that I love you
