Reaching You |

Reaching You I reach for you, the place you go deep within, my fingertips restrained by flesh, fearing flame A craven, cursed to extinguishing the coal I dream I am you or could stand beside you For in dreams, grasp is possible without fear of sear, scorch of ego, all that I think I know. Until wake closes my mind In reality I shall never touch you as you touch me with mere want, desire, words without fire I will never ignite the heart of you I stand defeated, head in hands, shivering in frozen unheard Knowing I have failed once more. |

I will never ignite the heart of you I stand defeated, head in hands, shivering in frozen unheard Knowing I have failed once more. ~*~ Dang girl. I wasn't expecting the impact of this. Now that it's out, we can look forward to a good New Year, yes? Please? This hit hard, Patricia. What was it I heard just LAST year? Something about a block, or brick wall, or something?  |

I have felt that way many times... which has held me back in fear. Understanding  M |

You just reached me...and wrote a piece of who I am. Can't thank you enough for this expressive gem, and I am going to hang it in my library. I know the exact feeling, the exact experience you describe here...though I have known success too. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

it's so true! turning mirrors upside down won't make dust fall off the ground, hiding wounds won't ease the pain, sleep won't make you whole again... |

You did not fail my friend, you cannot fail OR succeed for that matter if somebody does not see inside your heart, and it is obvious that the heart I see in this writing is not filled with failure. Brian Strive for higher levels, if they seem out of reach... Grow, and they will get closer. |

"For in dreams, grasp is possible without fear of sear, scorch of ego, all that I think I know. Until wake closes my mind In reality I shall never touch you as you touch me with mere want, desire, words without fire" this is sweetly written, i feel the longing, the ache....every word hangs in my heart as well....i enjoyed this |
