Beyond Reach

Feasting on mirth why I'd collected 
enough balance catering to the no 
nonsense of tattered bliss taken so 
soon so abruptly beneath a quiet calm
 
I'd bestowed hastily meeting my mind 
in between my souls cunning tantrums of 
a lesser me capturing my hearts gleaming
heavenly hue covenant within my palms 

enticing a rather needful act of kindness 
cleverly beckoning solace a dainty rapture
mesmerized beyond the glow of night time 
medley a quickening naught a sudden rapture
 
hence fallen endlessly throughout the galaxy 
finding hope hidden upon gravity embracing 
willful hints of pastel sanity gazing into emptiness 
employed a colorful yesterday removed so easily 

an yet found again with the dawn dazed by 
raised masculine eyebrows ruffled feminine 
frowns gathering quickly boldly awkwardly 
smitten with the sheer essence of truth
