#unobtainable
Today I will become an ephemeral thing
the mist in the flowers
the feeling in the forest that you are not alone
the ocean’s salt caress
No one can touch me
They do not have the right
My gifts are only for those who seek them
and have the strength to bear their weight

Oh insomnia,
Won't you go away.
Someone stop these thoughts.
That continously circle me.
It's true, I crave sleep.
So much more than you.
I wanna slip deep into a dream.
Where a faceless lover consumes me.
In a forest perhaps with nothing but green forest beauty, all around as far as the eye can see.
Where he lifts me up and brings me back down.
Where his lips graze mine in a unforgettable true loves kiss.
What a sap I am, always dreaming of such an unobtainable thing.

Happiness is fleeting
Or else life looses meaning
To chase a fleeing goal
That is un-obtainable
Is truly necessary
Because if we achieve our dream
There's nothing left

italic Sundays run with a poisonous doubt
a wronged wash in the what might have been
where we fidget like fleas on a rabbits hide
and verses drafted in the cross stitched sky
cannot disguise the well-practiced curses
with the pre-packed presumption of lilies
and static
abstract amongst the sheets
your limbs offer a confusion of choice
where context is lost
besides the arch and coil
of a tenderised neck
and that secret I shall whisper
into your ear?
two pronouns and a verb
you shall not remember
until the crystalline dew draws you clear
that it might be revealed in the heat of noon
or within the cold puddles of a rubicund swoon
as my fingers fund delight
from your long-drawn frown

They try and catch her in their hands,
but she's nothing they can claim.
Grip to tight and all is lost,
it drives most men insane.
Patience is required,
when you chase what you desire.
Passion bursts in euphoric waves,
setting the world on fire.
Heart torn from your chest,
Then shattered across the wall.
All because you wouldn't listen,
when she begged you not to fall.

Stop staring over those green dreaming hills
Stop searching far into the distance and wanting, wishing for that special something!
Stop hunting for the unobtainable
The impossible
The elusive
The perfect one?
Look around you and focus
Look beside you and see
Look ...... Just look.
They are here
They are yours .......
They are Now ........ And they will always be.
Please ...... You only have to LOOK.......

Living life on a slant.
Things keep slipping
Just out of reach,
Looking like they are far,
Too far to be here or there.
Everything is unobtainable,
People seem like they
Plot against what you
Want for them and for your life.
Smiles seem crooked,
Sidelong glances lengthen,
And frowns look fake.
Nothing is clear when
The only perspective is
Sideways.
