A Love Poem for Long Distance Relationships

Sometimes destiny tries

to keep you from me.

She yanks me forward with

green peeling fingernails,

towards the door and blows

smoke in your face to

distract you, choke you,

and I can't say no so

I climb onto her shoulders.

Technology thwarts her

more than lovers of the past

and she tries in vain to

block our texts and change

our times zones. She

underestimates us today.

She underestimates

Our Forever.
