Reaching
desperately
toward the outstretched hand.
Fingers barely missing flesh on flesh...
Again.

Moon beams
filter softly
beautifully deceiving
through the curtain of sheerly hung clouds.
Futile.

If she
could only reach
into the abyss below.
Could she but grasp those fragile fingers...
Insight.

Inches
seperate her
from the truth that lies below.
She will believe that hand is reaching
for her.

A leap
of childlike faith
would shatter the surface.
Realities reflection revealed
at last.

The hand
she longs to reach...
It was her own outstretched.
Sometimes an inch is simply more
than space.

My addition. Tell me whatcha think!

Pale girl,
don’t scream loudly
so-it isn’t a deeper
pit than love. The rocks not so sharp,
not so

lusty
for your blood and
tears as I, your
jealous green lover. The
crows not so starved for your flesh
as I,

the clouds
not so eager
to enfold and caress
and steal away the breath from your
fairy lips

as I,
your torturer,
your lover, your devil,
your captor, your saviour. Love, scream
louder.

I just realised that I have an extra 4 syllable line in there. Ah, well. Imperfection is the soul of beauty. I'll let it stand. Maybe it'll be a new variation hereafter named for me? ;)

Well, I think that your poem is just fine.
It's filled with both passion and emotion.

Poetry is LIFE!

Life itself can be quite dark so that means
there is room for Dark Poetry.

Dark, Light, Evil, Benevolent, Inspirational,
Angry, Loving, Seductive, you name it, and
you will find countless poems covering it all.

Thanks again for joining us.

It's our policy to move these poems into our lobby
once they are placed here.

I will be doing that now.

Welcome!

thanks,
andy
