A Thousand Miles Away
by William Bonilla
When my sight set it’s way Upon the loveliness of your face In our teens Your smile was divine Your beautiful almond eyes I made mine Your tender lips taught me The art of a lovely kiss Though we were in our teens That day you made my heart Skip a beat Everyday I laid my eyes Upon the sweetness of a vision That was you Like That of a rising sun.
I felt my heart racing out of control Butterflies and silvery snakes Dwell within my stomach At the mere sight of you Until that last day I kissed you When sad goodbyes were said.
Four decades ago, I last saw a tear Fall from her eyes Relocation Pilfered you away from me Eternally, faith parted us A Thousand Miles Away I will never forget That last day, I too Shed a tear Away from your sight For in those days A man Was not supposed to cry We stayed in communication Just a few years Until another stole your heart Away from me.
Your raised your own family At a tender age I went to war Several years down the line I was blest by the lord Then I too traveled down That same road .
Dreams of you, still torment My heart and soul Awakening My most valued treasured Memories Of a love we shared At such a tender age I often wondered If you still think of me Or in your dreams I could ever be?
This morning I woke with a smile I saw you in my dreams As we were then Once again You made the sun rise Within my heart And shadows disappear You still dwell In the loving chambers Of my happiness No one could ever steal My dreams of you Away from me.
