Intervals of longing [Poem]

Source:www.shalombewithyou.com

 

There are these intervals,
Intervals that appear out of nowhere,
Intervals that suddenly fill in the gaps

Gaps, between those minuscule measures of time,
Gaps that never made their presence felt ever before ,

Gaps that are now, eternal moments of longing

Longing to feel your warmth,
Longing to touch your face,
Longing to let each of my heartbeat become

a witness of your presence,

Because somewhere away.. you too are caught,
Caught in the same longing that those intervals bring,
Caught in those intervals that appear out of nowhere.

~Sam
