CCCLXX - A Menage Afar

.

The prompt given related to a "virtual menage a trois".
I opted for a rondeau.  It seemed appropriate.

A Menage Afar

If both were here then we would be
Entwined as one, comprised of three.
But distance plays a spoiling part
And blocks our meeting from the start.
Across the world, across the sea,
Prisoners of reality;
Just fond thoughts of sweet esprit
That such a union would impart,
If you were here.

Dispersed, remote and absentee,
We are a trio by decree
And even though so far apart
I feel the beating of your hearts
And ponder how the world would be -
If you were here.

  4. Ah, yes. Separated, but not so separate.

    Well done.

  5. Cos, this was exquisitely phrased. I was a part of a triangle: My former husband, Riley, and me. Only difference? I didn't miss him.

    This speaks of a homecoming that may not happen but will always be hoped for. Really beautiful. Amy
