Poetry of sorts – because I am out of sorts, preparing sadly and badly for a flight to the UK. Dedicated as always to the love of my life and future wife, Ionia.
In a few short hours
My world will stop turning
This separation of ours
This heart filled with yearning
I know it will not last
I know there’ll be an end
Eventually this will pass
Our life as we intend
Still, it does not stop the hurt
It does not stop the pain
Even though we have
Everything to gain
Finally together
No longer forced apart
Always and forever
One single heart

This makes my heart ache…for both of you. And it was a very good poem. All poems that come from the heart are.

I will keep her from getting in too much trouble waiting for your return. Or at least I will try.

Distance is defeatable and temporary. Technology and dreams can help ease the pain. Focus on being with her instead of that you’re temporarily going away. There’s probably more, but I’m too many beers and vodka into the night.
Seek out a song called Somewhere Out There by Linda Rondstadt.

Such agony. It is heart wrenching this coming and going, like an emotional roller coaster. I hope it soon ends and the two can be as one.

That is generally the opinion I hear the most – ‘I enjoyed it when your poem ended’ 😉

With that reasoning, every student enjoys every class; some only enjoy when it’s over. 🙂
