Unattainable Poems - Poems about Unattainable

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 light up a late father's reflection. Bashfully inadequate, I project...

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 you're an introvert, you said Years of talking, interacting, & confiding...

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 I, once more, may see your holy face! There is no...

Plunged into this dream world, heart frolics Yet finds itself limited by body To be like superheroes in comics Boundless aspirations so embody Our fearless, alert pilgrim soon discerns The world external is but fleeting form Going within, in astonishment learns Soul eternal pulsates bliss currents warm Consciousness expands, feeling touch divine Mind-body but an earth life interface All enabled, when our head and heart...

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 to a Manhattan accent, while recalling the name of your favorite fruit, "our-ange." My ears perk at...

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 unattainable. Poetry, language of uncontrollable words, a wonder to uncover Soaring imagination,...

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 lunge yet cannot reach, I reach yet cannot touch, I...

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....

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 a well accredited doctor just so he can write a...

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 Twine twisting tighter every time you shake.. You took my...

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 love. Truly unattainable… I thought they would love me, if I...

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....

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 own in you, And give to me your flowing life anew Lone...
