Love Long-distance

Time traveling back and forth,
tensions crackling
across long distance calls,
arriving conversations over Skype,
delayed a little while smiles ,
its unsettling echoes.

Summer mornings lethargic,
changes arriving on a cartwheel,
vibrations karmic,
and confessions cathartic.
Coffee at an odd hour,
learning love in vernacular,
memorizing patterns,fonts eclectic
decoding cultures,silence detonating

In tiny cardboard boxes existences sensate,
unpacking monsoons in perfume bottles ornate,
sighs riding on ocean waves
crashing silently on my shore,
paradoxes so-real and kisses surreal
planning and questioning
un-planning and accepting,
undoubted, loved,
in spite of me
because of you.
