One Man's Lyric

One Man's Lyric

A Poem by Jeff

My dirty hands

Touch her clean flesh

My eyes seek

Her lightening eyes


I reach for reality

Pull back my dreams

Surrounded by loneliness

This low man's feelings


I can't forget

The one

Who ran away

So long ago


I confess to

These pages

I lie to the rain

That falls below


I write to you

Words full

Of meaning

And unrequited love


What will be

Will surely be

What will come

Will come to pass

Rather sad poem about the longing we feel sometimes for someone who is no longer in our lives. Nicely done.

A sad and touching song filled nonetheless with hope that fate will be good in the end. I could imagine these as a real song.
Great lyrics.

A beautiful, profoundly moving song.. There is the movement of life... the world around us.. and the hope that what will be will be. Excellent write.
