a distance in between...

there is a distance separating us--you and me..
not one of miles,
but one of silence...
unpredictable silence!!

there is this void which shows up,
making everything seem incomplete,
and i wonder if uve noticed it too...
uncomfortably inadequate!!

a few words thrown in here and there,
some few smiles and laughs shared from time to time,
your want of space, my fear of crashing...
empty insecurities!!

a troubled mind lost in thoughts,
engulfing the whole of me at times,
a feeling that says something is wrong somewhere...
terribly wrong!!

what matters is the distance,
but not the one between two bodies,
but rather the one between two souls...
invisible strings!!

its just a matter of time today,
before we cross these miles between,
a distance just a coupla hours away...
easily traversed!!

but who will break the silence,
the eerie one creeping from time to time,
shielded in a strong armour it lies safe...
haunting awkwardness!!

until then lets just try and figure,
the reason which keeps holding us back...
is it my mistake your fault or a little of both?
blame games!!

though both of us know--you and me,
that there is a distance to be traversed
between two hearts...
between two souls...
through the silence...
through the emptiness...
through the awkwardness...
through the insecurities...
one which no airplane will help us cross...
only love!!

both of them gotta talk it through...it is the most uncomfortable distance..this thing called silence..it's like a wall..

It invokes many feelings in me. Only love that can traverse seven seas and make all thd differences we would need.

Very good writing! have brought out the intricate feelings wonderfully.

Will love redeem one from all of that? Will it, or is there a need for something more?

The poem evokes indescribable emotions, its an overwhelming feeling.

Beautiful :)

there is no distance between two loving hearts as they are one... once the hearts gets divided into two, the distance appears.. thats what i feel

///Only love that can traverse seven seas and make all thd differences we would need.///

but more so ever, its only love that can cross the distance between two hearts..between two souls..
if u want to be with someone you love, rnt u already with them even though u are a thousand miles away? :)

@ sparkling
thanks..as for your thought-provoking question, i would say
love seems enough to eliminate all the differences..as long as its true, problems will not stay problems for long :)
