Distance

What does distance give a man,
But heartbreak, sorrow more than he can
Understand, or evaluate, or even feel
Until he makes the devil’s deal

And sells his soul, for just a chance
At togetherness, at another dance
Under moonlit sky, not just romance
But true love, and a single glance

When miles and meters rack up high
And a broken heart begins to cry
Tears of blood, and a rending wail
That curses Fate’s pen, that rusty nail…

But when at last, the twain do meet
Like jigsaw puzzles, that fit in neat
No words are needed, just a simple kiss
And all’s as before, like nothing amiss…

What does distance give a man,
But heartbreak, sorrow more than he can
Understand, or evaluate, or even feel 
Until he makes the devil’s deal

And sells his soul, for just a chance
At togetherness, at another dance
Under moonlit sky, not just romance
But true love, and a single glance

 When miles and meters rack up high
And a broken heart begins to cry
Tears of blood, and a rending wail
That curses Fate’s pen, that rusty nail…

But when at last, the twain do meet
Like jigsaw puzzles, that fit in neat
No words are needed, just a simple kiss
 And all’s as before, like nothing amiss…

A Baby’s Smile…

Poem

A sleeping baby, silent, sweet

Eyes, fluttering with dreams, a smile

ever so lightly on those lips

And a million hearts she wins in style…

With gurgling sounds, and curling locks

a bashful glance, and rosy cheeks

Like a cute little doll, right out of the box

That smile, it stays for weeks and weeks

What magic wove, that God above

and filled little babies with so much love

Those little fists, that grab at our hearts

And yet they break it into a million parts

When they grow up soon, and time doth fly

And when asked to smile, they ask why?

But in our mind’s eye, they’ll always be

That effortlessly charming little baby….
