Love Poem: Alchemy

Alchemy

What play of nature, gods, or fickle fate
Enacted to place you there and me here?
What are these omnipotent forces' plans
As across this yawning chasm we peer?

Do you feel the touch of my reaching heart?
The warmth as I embrace you with my thoughts?
As each day dawns I hope to comprehend
The purpose of this carnival that thwarts

The sense of you I feel with every nerve
Your spirit inundates my every pore
I curse these chains of distance that we face
As every day I grow to love you more

But trusting in the strong bond that we share
One day shall blend the water with the air ~
