Inaccessible


I reach for what I know I know,
Perched on the cusp of thought.
It wanes, a fading afterglow,
Though once it burned white hot.

In mind, the truth of it lingers
If just beyond the reach
Of psychological fingers
Withering in beseech.

Disheveled shelf of memory
I can’t find my way to.
Each day, one more tossed to a sea
Of black I can’t wade through.

Beyond my grasp all disappear,
Still I can’t help but see
In the time lapse what I most fear,
The day I’m no more me.

So ‘try to live for the moment.
Too soon, the moment gone.
Like with a chance to compliment,
Breath hesitantly drawn.

A little further every day,
I ride the parable...
A life slowly slipping away,
Already inaccessible.

Michael...If I am right in my assumption I get this and you know why, having gone thru the last 2 months of loneliness. When you love someone and you lose them it is very very hard to deal with.
Take care my friend, ...Paul

Michael, nicely done.
This verse struck me as being very thought provoking.

"Beyond my grasp all disappear,
Still I can’t help but see
In the time lapse what I most fear,
The day I’m no more me."

To tell you the truth I think you'll always be you in one form or another. I also think you'll compensate your feelings from an inner peace we all come back to....

true love never looks after it's own interests
