Unobtainable Poems | Examples


Unobtainable

You catch me looking in your eye 
And my hands are on your side 
You say “I love you”
I start ing choking

Somewhere in the sky there was a voice who kept on talking
For a long time and he said that
There’s no starting over

It was back and forth until I saw you 
So it’s all alright, 
I’ll be back again

I wish we soldered like a flame
Who did I become in that time

I know I never 
Wanted you to leave…

I remember falling off thinking and 
thinking where do I begin?
And then watching from a distance, 
thinking what have I done, man?

The words were unobtainable
But there’s no denying…
Ill stay the same
I stay the same

So I tell you my love, we can go walking
In the cold in the dark but we’d be laughing

And if you don’t mind me pointing out 

I don’t know what to do when you’re up in my head. 
Stuck on repeat. 

No I won’t complain I’ll keep grinding
In the end the worlds mine for the taking 

It hurt me some time but, my head came around
And I’ll stay the same
I stay the same

And, maybe one day I’ll change..

UNOBTAINABLE

UNOBTAINABLE

If I could earn your love,
The way that I love you,
My life would be complete.
If you said, “Love you too,”
My heart would miss a beat.

If I could earn your love,
I’d never let you down.
If you would be my wife,
In sickness and in health,
I’d serve you all my life.

If I could earn your love,
I’d have all I desire.
I’d have no need to stray,
Content to have and hold, 
Forever and a day.

If I could earn your love,
My dreams would all come true.
But that can never be.
You on the silver screen,
Are just a fantasy.

The Coercing of Memory and Her Unobtainable Constraints

I dream in the morning
As lowly constructs constrain at night
Coercing my memory:
Death's cousin makes me their dancing fool

As a child, I had nightmares and thieves--
They indulged their appetites from my solace
Now, I only dream in the daylight
For my sleeping beauty calls me at night

"My Heart Is Unobtainable," she says
I wake as I had gone to sleep--
I do not dream of intangible mystery:
Not flying cows, or Dali's Persistence of Memory

I ask: are sleep and rest mutually exclusive?
For, the night owns my mind
Each night, I recall my dreams of old
My subconscious repeats their feckless words:

'My sleeping beauty never wakes
And soon, I will recall
I know this much, we both are fakes...
We never feel at all'...

Her Heart Is Unobtainable

Her heart is unobtainable
She haunts me in my sleep
My will is not sustainable
There's nothing left to keep

I've seen Her in my better dreams
But, they're too far away
At night, Her livid heart still screams:
'Why can't you let me stay?!'

I feel Her still, aside my brain
She's trying to get in
I'll lose my mind if she'll remain
So, don't let Love begin

I crumble, deep inside this text
My heart's a bitter crutch
When all I know is quickly vexed
I treat my dreams as such...

Unobtainable Love

There is a beauty that covers with clouds.
But even cries of help don't reach its careful sound.
Entreat and persist and it'll have you blocked.
Money and bling will only make you look ponged.
No covet will reach it but you still plead it out loud.

Unobtainable Peace

Whilst landward We strive for the unobtainable peace

 On the oceans reigns the universal cannibalism of the sea 

Quite like the quest by Captain Ahab for Moby Dick seemed fancifully lofty

 so are the images of the killing of Libya,s Colonel Khadafy 

be wary of overzealous military in pursuit of hegemony 

"I,d strike the sun if it insulted me" is not a coherent Foreign Policy

 We have survived fascism, the Holocaust, the threat of nuclear annihilation and terrorism with moral distinction 

The more we foster hate

 traipse foreign plains with a cowboys gait

 the faster it will lead to our extinction
