Baby, I cannot imagine
keeping social distance
from you
when the moon reflects
your light
Baby, I know 19 ways
to love you
19 ways to touch you
but, none to stay
away from you
I cannot stand it
to look at you
from a distance
and create some resistance
I cannot stand it
you being there
where my eyes taste you
Yet, you are a distant star
Baby, I know 19 ways
to love you
19 ways to touch you
but none to stay
away from you
For a month, a week
or a day
COVID-19 or no
COVID-19
has never been my dream
and I cannot pull
back the shades
as sweet waters beam
off your body
Can a fish live
without water
can a sea live
without kissing the shore
can anyone social distance
from food, drank or breath
COVID-19 may dispatch
our lives like Romeo
and Juliet
and the thought of not
holding you for a moment
or a thousand years
could kill me, because
Baby, I know 19 ways
to love you
19 ways to touch you
but none to stay
away from you
