To your eyes,
I am hidden

To your dream
I do
dwell

To your skin
I’m, forbidden

To your heart
I am,
held

It shouldn’t be legal
to
give away,
hope

Faith is a reverie
just, trying
to cope

Need will not ever
be
quite good as want

Nor will the place of our
wish,
that we haunt

Life was made simply
to be more or less

The perfect of anything makes us
regress

The ditch in the road is why,
there’s a trail

A lesson is merely
the flip side
of fail

Does matter, even matter
inside of
a void

What is the penalty when time
is destroyed

Sometimes we don’t
even know
when we borrow

All of my, want
is to give
you
tomorrow

Especially love your opening lines, and your ending is exquisite in it's timeless desire.  
Your poetry is very special Richy, and makes me feel so many things.  It's all good, really really good.

Oh, dear Poet, would you mind to sit with me on that bench and to read this beautiful poem again LIVE?

Exquisite!
