Irony

Nowhere is Sorrow stronger
Then when lovers separate –
Alienated.
Yet must stay still together.

Sullen…suffering…silent.
Each day apart both create
A gulf growing steeper…
Deeper…more distant.

A sea of sadness encloses them –
Drifting... On islands of isolation.
Grieving…Raging…Waiting…
Perhaps some spell may-

Restore their love again…
When will they realise –
They alone are the magic
That can ever recreate

Their lost love –
The moment they so desire.
