Oh, to see you again, if I only could overcome that great

Barrier, that barricades me, a blockade against my love that would

Stand with you, forever for you.

This heart of mine, I wish that you would know, but there is

Again and again a hindrance that keeps me from

Calling out to you, sounding your name, voicing my desire, my

Love.

Everything is a problem, a hurdle to be overcome

Surmountable only if some laughing god wishes,

It to be so.

Never have I felt an impediment such as this that

Leaves me silent, breathless, in your presence, my good sense the

Obstruction here, I think.

Vast wastelands of hopeless crying, of calling, of feeling

Empty, am I, in your absence.
