Dark Ecstasy
by Daniel R Stout
The glare of the screen
reflects in her eyes.
She crys.
The distance of love
is painful.
Far apart she is
with her beloved.
She peels the days
off the calendar
individually,
waiting
for the day
of their reunion.
Strange people
in this strange city
look at her
through the corners
of their eyes.
Why must I be alone?
she wonders.
But he waits for her too,
anticipating her return.
She envies the two birds
sitting on window sill.
They have each other,
she thinks.
But the warmth
in her heart is also
the warmth in his heart.
Two hearts conjoined.
For now they are apart
but soon the dark
ecstasy of airplanes
will bring them together.

Who is this poem about? I don't understand the reference to dark ecstacy in an airplane. Maybe this author is a member of the "Mile High" club?
