a blackberry blossoms
winter's summer pudding


blackberries 
above the nettles-
just out of reach

Blobby thing you came in from sea
Fading away here on the beach
Life once had swimming around
Ending in waves just out of reach

The Democrats want to impeach
But Mad Mitch says that's out of reach
He won't call a vote
Because the old goat
Was practising freedom of speech!

Your eyes bare soul-less intentions
On vague horizons just out of reach.

I am smitten once again.

It’s on the tip of my tongue just out of reach
It’s W something N something E

The Heaven that Christians foresee
Sounds utterly ghastly to me:
Without touch, taste or speech,
Loved ones just out of reach….

pages scattered the floor

the condescending 

Can you hear me screaming?

I’m dreaming

 Of reality

Of hospitality 

Of something so out of reach

Can you hear me preach?

my minds in the air
to see them walk bare
i can't help myself

BEACH WATCHER

Hopeless

Don’t touch me.
I’m quiet, and tall
And out of reach.

I am weak, and worried
And out of sound.

I am nothing,
But the fear in falling;

Wondering why I’m not touched

Gauguin was eating a peach,
While painting a scene on the beach,
A girl who was nude
Thought he looked rather lewd,
So she kept herself way out of reach!!

A Minor Spectacle One Night In Arabia

Cassiopeia reclined on her cosmic beach,
Longing for Orion so out of reach.
He was showing off to the stars,
As he spiked the Moon over Mars,
Wondering what next Venus would teach.

Eyes

don't look at me with my eyes
i seem to lose the power of speech
I'll look at you with your eyes
then we'll see if you're out of reach
if you'll ever feel at all

alone

I never understood why people fear being alone. 
I learned that being alone is the safest. If I am out of reach, no one can hurt me. 

No can leave me if I am already alone.

Premium Member For My Eyes Only

In summer, I drag old bones to the beach.
High surf and bikini clad women teach
that, shining in the sun,
there are some kinds of fun 
that are for me, not my eyes, out of reach.

Premium Member Out of Reach

I wish I could give myself completely
surrender to the arms of the unknown...
Bask in the sea of meditation and
find the serenity I have been seeking

Premium Member Christmas Surprise

One Christmas whilst decking the halls
My hubby passed out after malls
I heard a loud screech
He jumped out of reach
Cried, “Dear, they were not Christmas balls!”

Just Out of Reach

Over the horizon
a harp is playing

Its call recurring,
its tone Divine

Beyond the swell,
a calm is waiting

Its breeze untethered
—to flow sublime
