Best Out Of Reach Poems

Across the room her face shines bright
   while talking with her friends;
her presence fills me with delight
   with beauty that transcends.
She caught my eye right from the start,
but feelings that I can’t impart.
      She caught my...

Going out on trips
Everyone enjoys them
Enjoying a snack and coffee
All family get togethers
Bride and groom wedding blues
Eating out we all enjoy to do
All shopping malls closed up
No book store opened anywhere
No road trips airports closed
Nor the beaches or camping
The schools are all closed 
Only computer...

Sometimes helps out of reach,
Just a tad to far,
Not knowing what you did wrong,
Or why happiness seems so far,
You don't know why your ugly,
Or not a perfect weight,
You wonder why you aren't smart,
Or why it's always too late,...

Sometimes, life just fractures into pieces
Too many to put back together 
Time is  consumed with a lot of work
Often falling into circles going no where
Striving so hard for solutions and peace
As turmoil wrenches the heart and mind
It is easy to fall and hard to...

Mars planet so near
Like love forbidden to touch 
Must not give up hope

I am what I am

Sweep the empty bottles away
The last remaining drops drip silently out
Lay back against the wall
In some home on the edge of the world

My tunneled vision begins to open
And the blurriness begins clear
My parachute opened 
To pull me out of my free fall

So far away from...

Clouds condemn the sky line   
fear has taken root   
Im drowning in the vineyards   
but can't see thru the soot   

these grounds have become uneven   
there doesn't seem to be anyone around   
come harbour these rains before me  ...

Dreams seem important, but rarely make sense,
it's like peering through a peephole in a fence.
The slivers of truth I'm allowed to see,
when awake they become mysteries to me.

Reflections of reflections are not real,
they're just voids you can never fill.
Memories mere pictures to adore,
like being lost...

You remain out of reach,
Always ahead of me—
You, whom I love so dearly;
In my dreams and in my prayers
Seek to express the Light of Your image—
In shadows of my evolving awareness
Stumble to grasp such Infinite Beauty, 
Close mental fingers of retention,
My hand back to clay
Sculpted...

Lipstick stained, empty Jug
Her flock, her friends dispersed
This attitude, could not care less
A pretend she'd well rehearsed
Into the dark, blind advance 
Unto a sticky end
Hemming seams of sleeplessness
Where true love ne'er crept, my friend...

One of the cruelest aspects of Alzheimer’s is the way this disease unfolds…
how it’s able to disguise itself, at first, as just a part of growing old:

It began with her misplacing and forgetting things for that’s what old age does.
then progressed to her looking at...

You went away and joy went with you
Sound became a screaming in my head
And my eyes drowning in sorrow;
Saw only the emptiness of life without happiness;
     Brroken love often spreads;
     And written emotions often seem;

A BURNT SIENNA BEACH BECKONS OUT OF REACH

She softened the surf near a secluded isle during a summer sequestered by her smile
And she wore a smile all the while
With an ambiance of ambitious style

She reduced the roar at the shore and seduced a beach besmirched...

The end of summer has come.
It is time to say goodbye.
And return to where we came from.
Something we can not longer deny.

Sunshine filled days, now a memory.
Along with endless skies of blue.
There were seaside sights to see.
Offering so many things to do.

No more kites flying...
