Flow like air
feelings rise and ebb
I am the watery seas
and you are gold, at my fingertips
at the space where my lips
do not reach
except to call, and hush
sorrows that fall from cliffs
and sloped hills
and I send the wind to touch you
leave wet tears on your cheek
sun to kiss away the tears
and yellow birds to sparkle air
waves to spread seeds of African flowers
I send love
in so many wishes and days
of fog and mornings of dew
and I rise to cover you
but succeed only to kiss your hand
but you know
I am near you,
I send moonlit sands to bring your smile
and I will stay, surrounding you
with my endless desire.

this is beautiful.
"sorrows that fall from cliffs
and sloped hills"
such wonderful use of assonances.
*sighs in soft yellow*
Thanks for entering my contest.

I don't know that there is a distance that love cannot travel or a denseness that love cannot penetrate. This is beautiful! It seems to run the gamit of emotions, almost as if the wait has been far too long. There is a tug of heart here poet. Great work! I wish you well in the challenge.
Much Love Always ♥

I can believe that love will conquer time and space, that distance doesn't matter, after reading this. It is so powerful and beautiful.
