That Which is Close
By Kate K.
That which is close
Let be far away
From my heart which risks
The urge to awaken
As my senses have done
To your presence, your laughter,
Your words and your touch
You are so close I may yet
Awaken the part of myself restrained with gold
And then cross the divide
To glimpse an image of heaven that I have
Always doubted the existence of
To love you is to share you
With those who know nothing of your suffering
Or your joys, your passions or your grief
I stay to face the sacrifice of all that you are
To shape all my feelings for you into
A grief I will not fight.
You are close,
I cannot stay away.
