wouldn't be bad to have a few verses though

A well-known expression in English, not sure if it meets your needs.

How about a variant on this one?
Silken Chai .
Whatever Swift meant by his great satire he described that particular passage the way we become bound by the silken chains of habit. ...
news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1913&dat=19330603&id...
(The above refers to the passage in Gulliver's Travels in which Gulliver is pinned down to the beach with cords by the Lilliputians)

bound by the silken chains of absence?

Low confidence because I've _no_ confidence in the possibility of "plugging in" to a poem translations of metaphors piecemeal, but...

frozen solid by our parting
frozen solid by your leaving
frozen by our parting [your leaving]
deep-frozen by our parting [your leaving]
iced over by our parting [your leaving]

Я думаю, в английском языке нам трудно увидеть красоту вашего текста, используя сравнение со льдом, т.к. при переводе теряется метафора.

Я предлагаю такой вариант.

Вот примеры подобных ситуаций:

Photographer Charles Castle is numbed with grief following the death of his beautiful bride. http://tv.blinkx.com/movie/photographing-fairies/SUShQrmmxZb...

The second stanza states that their relationship has broken down fully conveyed by the words “There is no touch now” and by comparing their relationship to a wave that has now broken down in the lonely sea of the world. Though there is a possibility of words still to be spoken, the separation is too great a gulf to be heard. It is so great that it swiftly out measures time (time makes us gradually forget) and engulf one’s identity too.
The third stanza pictures the state of separation. It is like the dreamer startled from her sleep but the vivid image of the dream is lost in the process of waking. It is in a state of vagueness about a vivid moment of life. All the senses like taste and sight feel numb. Even feelings have turned cold as denoted by the words ‘clinic heart’ (dead heart). So there is no question of the heart breaking.

or.


if you try to move the concept of "bound by ice" over to 'immobility":

too sad to move, too far away,
As if ice arrested the waters (not letting messages through)
or

cold, icy distance beacons fate
Lonely misery is your fare…

Or
Distance binds just like ice, one stays longing.

But the best is Jack’s, although indeed a bit too much in common use.

"a rift" is separation in relationship.

frozen/trapped in a drifting iceberg of our rift

echoing The Blind Boys of Alabama

someone is bound by separation -

if the phrase that you were looking for was implying that there were two or more people bound when they came together after separating from something, then 'bound in separation' would be more proper
(as Arrigo Frisano-Paulon has already advised above)
