Reachable But Lost
The bird is just an arm’s length, please stretch the arrow
extreme carefulness and calculations will sum at zero.
The asset is in front, the corners need no check
the hand looks for the head only above the neck.
She looks untouchable unless someone comes forward
she may be with another you think, please don’t be a coward.
Days go by but her quality stays like old wine
yet, her presence makes manly confidence go offline.
The needed move continuously embraces absence
involving stupidity to ruin the suspense.
Courage shuttling land and water like an amphibian
desire molded by the English, Arab and the Indian.
Life is defined by many competitive students in a school
just a step behind and the weak is pulled out of the pool.
Too many chances missed, makes the situation a disease
opportunity and hope are tightly mixed, meshed and squeezed.
Time flies away with this lady, a bad diagnosis
enjoying the comfort of one but to another, a nemesis.
There’s always something to offer from a mind with a pocket
but it inflicts on itself to leave the heart with an open socket.
