CCCLXX - A Menage Afar

.

The prompt given related to a "virtual menage a trois".

I opted for a rondeau.  It seemed appropriate.

A Menage Afar

If both were here then we would be

Entwined as one, comprised of three.

But distance plays a spoiling part

And blocks our meeting from the start.

Across the world, across the sea,

Prisoners of reality;

Just fond thoughts of sweet esprit

That such a union would impart,

If you were here.

Dispersed, remote and absentee,

We are a trio by decree

And even though so far apart

I feel the beating of your hearts

And ponder how the world would be -

If you were here.
