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.

Why is it that the things we want most are the most difficult to find?... I truly hope you find happiness and all the things you want from life. Never give up, MC!... This is another great poem from your talented pen. Well done!

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!!)

That downward spiral after love loss takes quite a while before one can reach any kind of peak again. Phoenix will fly soon enough yet again.
