Beyond Reach

Across borders

My Love was lost
hidden afar
further to breach
Like kids chase dandelions till they cannot be reached
I've cast myself away like a stone in the deep

Across borders


Across borders

I've shot crimson roman candles through my subtleties
Expressions I've repressed within the shadows of my grief
extends through out of my yearning like a hound tied to the leash

Across borders


Across borders

I wish to sojourn the tides like Ulysses
But I know "the hottest love has the coldest end" like quotes of Socrates
Across borders like renaissance statues with no sight nor speech
