When you’re miles away
When you’re miles away
I can’t write and I can’t say
anything. My life’s cliche.
It was rainy then, and cold.
It always is, or so I'm told
when life and love have gone astray
and other things take you away.
When you’re miles from me
I can't write and I can’t see
anything. My life’s debris.
There was a storm yesterday.
There always is, or so they say
when love packs up and runs away
“to other things,” I heard her say.
When you’re miles away
I can’t write and I can’t play
anything. My life’s niente.
Since then it’s raining every day.
Perhaps they’re tears I shed today.
With your love gone I wilt away
and other things all fade to gray.
When you’re an ocean away
I can’t write and I can’t pray
for anything except... tomorrow.

Very emotive write, may that tomorrow be with you today.,
Andy
Thank you Andy for your kind words and wishes. May a new "Tomorrow" be with you as well.
A gentle but powerful lament Phil. - - as your words aptly say - -each day can hurt when distance pushes itself between lovers .
Thank you Fay. As you say every day can hurt when you are separated from a lover, but there is always tomorrow.
The craft, construction, rhythm; I can take that poetry all day (and yours here is exceptional) - even if it's about love.
Regards, Dave
Love - #1 poetic subject. So difficult to find a new way of expression. Thanks for reading my poem and for your kind words of encouragement.
Good write Phil.
OK, I'll come back. Dunno why I went away. I'll keep ya company still! heehee.
Thank you O. No need to return we're both here on MPS. Thanks for keeping company with my poem.
a moving read, well structured and written to be accessible and as a result will be relatable to many,
Thanks L.B.. Did you read it while you were moving? I believe all poetry should be accessible and relatable. Again thanks for reading my poem and for your words of encouragement.
