Best Unattainable Poems

Satisfying founts of passions, a celebration remains unattainable
Like admiring the unreachable, possession remains unattainable.

Carved pains from which to heal, an abiding endeavour
As pleasure of the mind its satisfaction remains unattainable.

Passion and reason within a soul, harmony far to reach
Ever refining a beautiful soul, perfection remains...

Beloved,
with preposterous
persistence,
I still search
for your likeness.
Gravitating
toward every
handsome bald man, 
I scan the light 
that reflects
off their head,
like the globe of home.
I strive for
the sight of bushy,
frost seasoned eyebrows
and hazel eyes
defined with
laugh lines, and I
shape-shift them
to resemble yours.
I hunt for
hearty hands,
calloused and
unabashedly
bleeding from
the weed wacker's
counterattacks.
I hearken...

I thought it was love,
  But it wasn’t.
I thought it was joy,
  But it was sadness.
I thought it was pleasure,
  But it was pain.
I thought it was ecstasy,
  But it was a dream....

Are there medical treatments to cure this disease? Will clinical trials shine a light on
this sickness? Will exploratory surgery find the source of where it all began? Will
radical and controversial experiments result in new ways to manage this progressing virus?
Will it just be assessed by...

I have always known that I was only capable of loving a woman,
More beautiful, more wealthy, more genius, and gifted than I.
The unattainable…...

Now I see that the woman I have loved have had all of these,
plus one.

They are incapable of loving another, too wounded to...

I have filled my mind with things unreal
and my heart with affections unsafe.
I can’t help but smile when I see your face.
You’re killing me with each and every embrace....

Look at this beast you unleashed 
I hope she scares you and makes you put your head in-between you knees 

Turn the dark corner, right into the trap… 
I’m going to twine you into a suffocating wrap 

Your lungs will burn every breath you take...

She comes into view
And my heart launches a tantrum
That bombards my ears.

My knees buckle, 
My strength crumbles 
To nothing but dust
At the smile most gracious
And the sweet, sweet voice
Like a mermaid's song.

If she so much as touches
I might die, 
At the very least, go mad.

I...

Young caring lover of another man,
Serenely take my vacant, sheltered hand,
And with the simple touch you give to him,
I beg you, let me feel your soul within

O Perfect mirror for his fragile heart,
Of which your deepest feelings form a part;
Please, let me glimpse my brittle...

Beloved, 
again, I bargain 
with my unbridled mind,
seeking to find 
a smile 
wider than time,
and wild eyes 
like mossy tree stumps, 
gliding against light,
in exchange 
for all of 
my recollection's 
regrets combined.

A stranger's 
divergent eyes 
always disappoint, 
pointing away from 
the maze of memories 
that...

She said to me to not even try
As I approached her with desire
The first thing noticed was her eyes
Leaving my heart burning with fire
I had to meet her, had to dare
She was elegant and ever so pretty
She probably noticed I was set in stare
So I...

When you felt yourself get close
You slammed your door shut
You didn't wanna take that chance - 'cause you thought you'd get cut
What I had done up until that point seemed never to be enough
You said I seemed like I was always in my head
Even though...

O, Mortal Goddess of the Heavens Seized,
Whose Name, pleasant, doth make my heart to quake
There’s naught I would not bravely do to please
Thee well, all wisdom, surety, I would forsake,
If only you would draw nigh unto me...
There is no better thing than that bright hope
That...
