Reaching the Deepest Ocean
My Beloved,
   Can you read me between the lines and verses,
   Can you feel my tender scarlet heart throbbing,
   with intense drumming emotions?
   Can you feel my fragile spirit,searching for you own?
   Searching in the...

Reaching Deepest Oceans ,Revised
My cherished one How far will I love you
As far as where moons dissolve in deep seas
Beyond the edge of a tide's crimson hue
where your breath quickens sails with fevered  breeze
Alone I 'll embark to our promised land
across long borders of unending pain
under still...

Reaching Out
Through thickening haze,
I hear your voice call my name, 
encouraging me, words beating 
with my heart, guiding me home
as I stumble and crawl… 
lost in a winding maze,
blinded by a smokescreen haze.
My life falls off-course; a sudden struggle, 
I am suffocated by my own thoughts,
by...

Premium Member Reaching Out
Thinking of you, my friend,
wanting to ease your pain.
Picking up pieces to mend,
to see you whole again.

Life is coming at you,
relentless and too fast.
Not much to do,
before the issue is past.

The distance between us is far.
But know that I am always here.
I wish for you...

Reaching Deepest Oceans
My beloved

How far will I love you

As far as where moons immerse in deep seas

Beyond the edge of a tide's crimson hue

Where your breath fills my sails with soft zephyr breeze

Lone I embark to our promised land

Across borders of secret pain

Under still stars,above drifting sand

Reaching Out To You
I feel like my life is a clean slate
When I’m reaching out to you
I feel you lingering in my thoughts...
You stitched up my insecure frame of mind 
And stitched up the little pieces of memory 
That knits a smile on my face 
I don't know...

Reaching the Third Level
To reach nirvana
Poet paradise
You have to reach the third level

It's a journey to forever
It may take some their whole lifetime,
and others may never get there

It's a quantum leap
fraught with uncertainty
First it takes writing skill,
then an inexhaustible will
and finally, untapped creativity

The first level is easy
Most anyone...

Reaching For the Light
In the waiting room, the plant
Sat near the windowsill.
Purple leaves were nodding
Like they had their own free will.

Their skinny stems supported
What were leaves split up in threes;
All were dancing to the music
From the radiator breeze.

Outside the sun was shining
Though the day was brisk and cold.
That...

Reaching Back
Now I reach back into the past
  to my first love
  but not my last.

I hear his voice still in my brain.
So many fragments of the past remain.

I see the one I loved so true
  on the highway in my rearview.

I'm on...

Reaching For Peaks
The ponderous fog lifted early,
now the widening bounteous blue
makes its presence known,
my feet stay on the ground,
but my eyes climb an upward
journey passing slowly in review
and as big as passion itself.

I'm gently carried to another height,
a caressing contentment and quiet period
where the depths of inspiration
seem...

Reaching For You
~
The clouds look like fingers,
an eastern horizon
As if they are reaching
for one they adore

As I stand here gazing,
my eyes, their direction
While reaching for you
on this morning once more

Reaching Out
Like a branch that reaches out toward the sun 
Or a leaf that gently touches the sky 
steadfast and growing with roots running deep 
or a robin preparing to fly 
like a wing that glides on a gentle wind 
seeking its way to a nest...

Reaching Out To You -
Can you hear my voice,
on the other side?
I call quietly out to reach your ear, 
and hope your heart will listen.
I don't care to reach the masses, 
just one just you will do.
I'm a solitude writer, 
as company can crowd me.
One perfect understanding being, 
to...

Reaching the Door
How do I love you? With all my 
heart.
I live with your put down, and
your anger.
Knowing the door is open, to 
leave, I try, but by the time I reach
it, it closes again.
Listening to your promises,
I believe, but then you forget you
even made them.
How do...
