POEM: "Distance"

Here we are far from each other

cut from each other

by land and the deep blue sea

and at my back I can hear

a contender lure you from my hand -

that's my fear yesterday and another

but I trust your true honor and virtue

shall always be steady and fresh as the dew.

Dear had we enough time and less distance

I would love you long before the world began

and upon your beauty I shall continue to gaze

until the world be done

even then I shall not alter my stance,

 reminded of your youthful hue and face.

This I hold with a fist and shall always praise.

Know my love for you is without an iota stain

 but distance can kill with a lot of pain.

Gaveston, refuse my contender's plea,

as Joseph take to your heels and flee

else your past-fate you shall relive in awhile

 as this is my fear that I  

should lose you in Gaveston's style

and my pain should be more than losing an eye.

but we must not give up still

whilst we pleasure ourselves with kisses from our letters

we send to each other no matter the weather.

Hold up but for awhile

because I come for you in due time,

We will tear our passions in a rough ride

and roll our lips together as strong as the tide.

Indeed distance can kill

but we must remain still
