"Full Moon in Venice" photography by Viviana

Black tears stream down my face
as I type these words of longing,

the glow of your smile
permeates my every cell.

As I look into the distance
for your fading image,

I wonder, how could we have
missed each other?

Like two owls
passing in the night,
the longing was mutual

but at different times,

what irony, what sorrow,
what bittersweet pain.

Thoughts of you are un-erase-able,
the longing, impenetrable.

We both stand inexplicably
drawn to each other,

thirsting for the other,
and then turn and walk

the separate path…
