5000 miles from home

Published on February 8, 2007 By redbandana In Writing

I'm lying in your arms
my back nestled snuggly against your chest.

The warmth from your body
makes me feel sleepy and content.

My fingers are laced through yours
as we talk of all and nothing.

Emotions swimming through my blood
making my heart beat faster.

I am loved. I am cherished. I am wanted. I am needed. I am yours.

I sigh from contentment and then reality
as I realize I am alone.

I'm lying in your arms
although I am 5000 miles from HOME.

I'm only 200 miles away from my wife, who just lost her mother and is getting the house ready for transfer of ownership. I felt closer to my wife reading your poem. Thanks.

This is very sweet. I'm jealous. I want this.

Thanks Moskowitz! If we didn't get kicked in the heart occasionally how would we know we were still alive?

Dr. Donald. I am so sorry for the loss of your mother in law.
But I am happy that I helped to ease the grief if only for a moment.

This is very sweet. I'm jealous. I want this.

Thanks Locamama! My wish for you is that you find what you seek.

I like this too! It reminded me of the days when I was alone when I first came to the US before my present husband came to join me here!

Nicely done!

Thanks foreverserenity!
I long for the day when I can speak of this separation in past tense as well.

Everytime I am away for an extended period from my wife, this is how I feel. Well done...
