Closest

No man is enough
no flower holds all colors
no fire burns all woods
no wave touches every shore;
So it was ordained,
and is it not some comfort
to know that I came closest?

I find this both beautiful and disturbing... your images evoke much truth... and knowing you're as good a choice as humanly possible has to be a certain comfort... but I think there's still a yearning to be enough... for that one special person. *S*

As always... enjoyed your work very much.

nicely done... the look inwards perhaps to come to the place you did all that was possible to be everything..sometimes has to be enough

I'm not sure one can be everything to another in human life, but perhaps after? A thought filled poem!

A bright, insightful write!
Much enjoyed!
Coming the closest is about all we can expect of ourselves, since none of us is perfect - except maybe to our loved ones!

So completely said! And, as was pointed out, very thought-provoking.

Closest

No man is enough
no flower holds all colors
no fire burns all woods
no wave touches every shore;
So it was ordained,
and is it not some comfort
to know that I came closest?

But you saw me try
to be your every color
to burn even the stoniest wood
to leave foam on your shore;
Why must it be
that my touch scarred you
in ways I never saw?
