Spread & Waiting

Another day passes,
as I await your words.
We grow ever older,
& my heart is forever yours.

Just as easily as you'd chosen the Galapagos
as your destination,
a return trip can be quickly arranged
with the long desired message, frustrated & desiring.

Why remain in desolation,
why continue to hesitate?
All possibility lay before you,
no more doubt, no more regret.

Can the complications of time & distance
really separate -- really restrain,
when the heart's desire
lay open & bleeding, arms spread & waiting?
