Marquis Mc Mills-Cooper Poet Free verse

Sweetest Pinnacle

Occupied without you, my heart still has much to accomplish,
stumbling through days and nights saddled with lofty goals.
Pressed near collapse by your face and smile, these my daily inducements,
today no heavier than yesterday, the weight of my endeavor seems greater still.
No closer to the sweet pinnacle, harsh hurt gives way to emotions and endless steps,
struggling to advance still in the direction of dimly lit aspirations.

Andrea Dietrich October 11, 2016 at 3:09 PM that pinnacle is one we all hope to reach, Marquis and I enjoyed your description of trying to get there. As for my diet song poem, yes, high protein helps us lose weight, but sadly, my doctor does not advise me to even eat much beef. And I adore beef!! (I am not listening totally to that doctor!!)
