Poem written during an extended absence from my husband.
Apart

I hear your voice through the wires
So soothing and seductive.
But these sound waves help me none.
Late at night and all through the day,
I miss your touch, your smile.
The phone line cannot caress me
Nor can it shelter me at night.
My soul cries out for its completion
For the better half of me.
Tossing and turning
No warmth to soothe me.
So little time
But it feels like a lifetime
Away from you.
