He felt so sad when he thought about her
It was as though
She were the perfection he
Could not have
Lofty sky diamond
She was
Made his heart ache
Made his thoughts linger
But the distance
Yawning between his heart and
Her heart was
Like the space between the
Earth and sky.
He faithfully lifted his
Eyes heavenward
But without an
Articulate audible
Desire.
He watched her from afar
And struggled not
To reach out
Nor to gorge
Himself on his own heart.
