Princess that’s far away

At a time I could say my words
face to face to you,
and you knew
how deep my love is,

but now you are to far away
and I wonder if my poems
still make an impression on you.

Like the night
and sparkling stars flee
from the sun in the day
we are separated

and a shadow falls
drawing long lines
between us

and still you forever remain
the princess of my heart.
