Of Thirsty Love

How do I get close to you
I could hear the whispers
Of your voice in my heart
I could see the smiles
on your squint eyes
I could feel your hands
and the warmth of that tender touch
Yet you still seem far away

How do I get close to you
I could hear the footsteps of your paces
And the presence of your aura
I could see the shadow of your posture
As you seat next to me
I could count the heartbeat of your soul
Yet you still seem far away


How do I get close to you?
I could visualise the dream from your face
As you wonder in the dreamland
Looking at your lovely face when asleep
I could feel 
The temperature of your body 
When it raises
And the emotive gestures that comes with it
I could feel the laughter in you
Even when you doint smile
I could see the tears in you
Even when you don’t cry
Yet you still seem far away
How do I get close to you?
