Example
Sleepless in Love by Jez Farmer
Again, I’m here and you are there
And without you I lay awake
At night distance too much to bear
As all my senses dare to ache
For you and the sweet love we make
A moonless sky holds no solace
To closed eyes as my thoughts retrace
Your lips as when they first met mine
That is when the truth took its place
That I am yours in love divine
A Garret Poet
