What I Wish At 2.00AM...

So what does one do when awoken at such un-Godly hours and unable to sleep again? Not that I minded coz it was she on the other end of the line. And even more so when it dawned on me that she only called coz she was thinking of me.

And so I write??? LOL! No.

What any 'real' person would do would be to then head to the kitchen to raid the fridge and make coffee. And more by accident (rather than by a moment of inspiration) does he decide then to try his hand at prose.

And this was the end product.

I wish there was no distance between us
And that we both lived in the same time zone
Under the same roof, sharing in one life.....

I wish our dating zone was not just Skype, endless text messaging
Or expensive long distance telephone calls
It's just not right to steal time this way for each other.....

I wish the world would learn that life is not meant to be dictated by man-made doctrines
And blinded not be it too by prejudices of differing faiths and conventions
So as not to judge but instead, to bear witness to the love we have...

[But at this hour, at 2.00 A.M. of this morning.....]

I wish most of all that what awoke me was not the ringing telephone
But that of your presence next to mine
That I have you to behold in my arms
As I lullaby you to sleep.....

I love you, Twinky.....
