When we are apart <br />the world’s light dims a little, <br />as if the sun has gone <br />behind a high cloud. <br /> <br />Dimmed <br />the spectrum colours <br />that have shone <br />on cold grey streets, <br />whenever we, delighted, <br />have strolled, entwined, <br />through grim faced crowds, <br />laughing <br />and exchanging jokes and puns. <br /> <br />The glow that fills my heart <br />when we lie together, or roll <br />in playful fun <br />or sensual passion, <br />or melting into one <br />undifferentiated being, <br />sleep soundly <br />in each other’s loving arms, <br />that light too is dimmed, <br />but not extinguished <br />for I hold you in my dreams <br />when we are apart.<br /><br />Janice Windle<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/for-d-nall-when-we-are-apart/
