where sights are
unseen, thoughts are unprocessed
and words are gone unmentioned,
I forgot a fourth integer.
If, being also a place, where
the smallest door, can drape
and empty canvas, to which
may unfold a whole new picture
of life, onto which we both may paint.
Thus, as I opened my palm to
her, with what little I am and
what minute I have to offer, my
heart burst full of fuel enough
to take Her, I and her Children,
to a brand new world.
One of rest, success, Happiness,
laughter, love, security and
togetherness.
Why would I lie? When I have
already put it, right here, right
now, in writing for all of the
museum of life to witness.
Could the courts not use this decree?
To pursue the plan stated?
No need. I never planned to default
the deed of my love for her.
I extended my reach, before
her weary, yet Angelic face.
I offered my hand, with the
knurls of my fingertips
eagerly anticipating the
warmth of her own touch
to encircle my own.
My eyes grew wet with tears.
A smile turned up for a small
second –
then my heart sank like a stone,
as from my hand, her grip –
slipped.
The Reach – ll
I want to stretch out my
arm,
and reach for your hand
–
So when our palms meet
and our fingers land,
into a knitted hovel
of love.
Knowing that your touch
is an extension of your
beauty,
Believe me –
my reach, would be for
you
only.
For I could never
imagine
being without you.
But, my reach, falls
short.
Because I’m always the
one
reaching out, and you’re
the one running about.
I hate to say –
I want.
Because no one seems to
care about that.
I hint that I would
like,
which is more subtle
than direct.
It just feels so
perfect,
but so many things I
never know.
I lost you for 6 months.
A monsoon of tears I’d
often
daily cried.
I was reaching out for
you then,
but the reality of the
situation
soon set in, and to me
did not lie.
I am just a man. A flesh
and blood
human being –
I am full of love for
you, this is
something I hope that
you are
seeing.
Please baby –
I’m reaching,
I’m hoping,
I’m trying,
I’m dying – to be the
one
who loves you daily.
Please, all I ask, is
that you
just don’t play me.
I’m not rich, or made of
money,
But if you became mine,
then
nothing could stop me –
from claiming glory, of
any
new story
We could both write to
summarize
the tale of our love in
our lives.
I would love to reach to
you, to
place a ring on your
finger –
I would love to reach to
you, to hand
to you, or take from
you, our daughter.
I would love to reach to
you, in the coldest
part of the darkest
night –
I would love to reach to
you, to keep you
warm and safe, and do things for you right.
My hand is open,
my heart is open,
and though it is
easily broken,
I love you so much –
That it is worth the
pain
from the reach.
Why can’t we both agree,
That is we could simply
get past the small
issues,
we might just be perfect
for each other?
Grave and subtle differences between Man and Woman
Let me take you to a better
place, he said, with a heart
full of grace, as open and
brilliant as the new day
sun.
Let me be the one, who extends
of himself, to bless you so you
can rest and grow and learn to
love.
No, she said. I don’t need you,
nor want you, I am who I am,
and won’t bow to you.
Bow to me? He replied, there
is no need. I want to put aside,
all childishness and foolishness.
I have long been in the pit, of
lies and games and deception,
my new mission, is to love
someone, you, if you will allow.
No, she said, I am in love with
substance, and with circumstance,
and I won’t take a
