Miles apart my Love

a poem by Arul Prakash

Time has been slipping through like a river downstream
and the winds blew midst us,
where the lands divide us.
We do stay far apart my love,
But your thoughts and my sweet memories of you,
and the time we spent together,
are what still holds my breath.

Though boundaries seen and unseen bind me,
my free mind wavers like a fluttering leaf,
still holding to the tree even
midst the strong wind that threatens to devour them.

This world of sand and wind,
rips us apart, but my soul,
for whom the sky is the limit,
feels one with you,
for you are my friend
you are my Love,
you are my soulmate,
you are all that I can ask for.

It might sound very funny and foolish to you,
but this is how I feel about us.
And let me tell you something,
even when the mightiest power of time is against us,
my heart will always skip a beat,
when I think of you my love.
