Distance

Never able to express it
I am in torment
Never allowed to do
Anything but adore her
To hold her in a moment
To linger in her presence
Able to fully imagine
The scent of jasmine
Unable to escape my fate
As I watch from a distance
To see such a vessel of grace
She defines exquisite beauty
With spice along with lace
Heaven without the invite
Her form so feminine
I no longer have control
Of my mind so love blind
My heart long ago left
She has trapped my soul
My flesh is the only thing I have
Able to draw breath
In her space
In her universe
I am invisible
But I long for her
To know her
For her lips to taste
