Out of Reach

My breath somehow forsakes me

It will not whisper your name

My heart says I'm unworthy

It cannot ignite this flame

My soul cries out for recoginition

But my lips won't let me smile

Tempted by your heavenly beauty

But captive to denial

My dreams filled with your vision

I dare not close my eyes

Everytime you pass me by

Another piece of me dies

I am but a simple man

And you, a goddess of desire

A treasure meant to intice my soul

One I shall not aquire

How much longer must I suffer

How long will my soul beseech

Alas, I turn and walk away

For you're simply out of reach

This is written from the heart of longing .. Unrequited Love .. the most painful kind ..

Tear-full .. i can relate .. Jasmine

Beautiful. I'm sure every one of us has felt the agony of one-sided love. Very-well written, congrats.

Lack of confidence shos in this poem. Perhaps she only seems out of reach.
