Miles Without Distance



Miles without distance, together though apart;
there's coexistence, united by the heart.

Time without minutes, an ever present now;
there are no limits, forever is the vow.

Words without speaking, telepathic accords;
there's furtive tweaking this closeness affords.

Sight without vision, microfilms in the mind;
there is fine concision as portraits unwind.

Touch without contact, a tactile sensation;
there's corporeal impact, felt visitation.

Scent without smelling, an aromatic fair;
there is an indwelling fragrance for the air.

Many perceptions are extrasensory;
exchange receptions require intimacy.
