Someday,

In a place far away

In a childish kind of way,

I imagine you and I.

My life has carried on

Pain and friendship,

All manner of human kin my own-

Yet you remain.

You would not understand,

You do not even hear my words

Feel my thoughts When I say

That I will wait another year,

When I feel deep inside

Of my feelings for you.

Someday:

A turn of phrase

An escape route

A way to say goodbye-

A place where one hides ones dreams.

Someday:

A place where I hide the photograph

Of my wife..Yet I am not married.

Someday:

A time when we will lay entwined in

Each others arms..Yet we have only

spoken five times.

Someplace:

A day far away in which we will

Realise a dream untold..Yet even

Now I can only wish for you.

Someplace:

A time of day in which I shall hold

You tight, for comfort, to make the

World right..Yet I know not how you feel.

Sometime:

A place lost in adversity, hidden in someones

Future where we exist..Yet you have only

Touched me once.

Sometime:

When you are all alone

You will think of me.

For all the hours I spend

Wrapped up in my thoughts of you

I will learn only selfishness.

For each and every hour I spend

In my own world trying to reach

Into yours- you will spend alone,

Thinking of me.

You do not know me,

Nor I you.

Your world is your own

Your decisions your choice-

How I wish, oh so wish

That one such decision

Might include me!

Someday,

You may wonder about me,

About all that I say.

You will never know such a man as I,

And not for the want of trying.

But for my loss?

I will never know such a woman as you-

That can hold my attention so,

And yet say so little,

Sway so little,

Yet so love me.

For love is where I am-

And a cold, damp place it is,

When it is for one.

You see me not

Yet I try shyly to fill your vision.

Like a child I feel scorned,

Ignored, lonely.

My life is here,

Unfolding before me, taking shape,

Even as I write to you

Yet you wish to take no part.

Only I know the true loss of this

To both you and I,

Only I know the price I will have to pay.

I cannot get you out of my mind-

Would that I could!

I am in a cold Heaven, a blissfull prison.

I know you not,

Nor have I ever held you close

That such the sweetest dream and desire

Be mine to keep,

But already I feel your fingers playing

Gently along my spine.

I know not your embrace

Yet already I feel your warmth.

I know not your kiss,

Yet already I taste your lips.

I know not your love

Yet already I feel your ardour,

Your flame.

Stay from me no more,

Come see my world,

My Kingdom,

For what it is worth

Is great and secret.

Be not intimidated by my word,

Nor shy of my failing candour,

Grow into paradise

And share with me

That someday

That place far away

That childish kind of way
