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.
