~~ Obsessed~~

Missing image
Longing, wanting, needing
I see you in my dreams
You are always
out of
      reach....

I run, I jump
You are always
eluding
      me....

I always seem
to fall behind
  come up short
I want to be with you
your hand
     out
           of reach...

I want to touch the stars
And dream of catching you
You holding me
As we wrap our arms
Round
    one another...

I would give you
All I have
To be held in your arms
But you are
         always out of
                reach....

    heartwhenching yet beautifully written, indescibable in my opinon. i love the entire poem, but my fav, stanzas are:

    I want to touch the stars
    And dream of catching you
    You holding me

    I would give you
    All I have
    To be held in your arms
    But you are
    always out of
    reach....

    Susan, all I can say is WOW! When I read your words, it is if I can actually hear your voice speaking them. The pic is perfect! You ARE amazing. The only other person that can capture my attention where I can visualize and hear the words is Lurie, I just don't know how you guys do it????? Love it keep em coming. Skipper

    This one touches me, and makes me sad. I desire this so much about someone. It's as if you have looked into my soul. Beautiful writing. I love it. Really.

    Second poem of you for me (I think!) and so far I have made only one conclusion...you write beautiful verses.

    The farthest star is the one nearby that you cannot reach. Cold heat. A fraction of an inch away feels the farthest from contact when subdued by will power. Ah, the mystery of desire.

SOMEONE PLEASE CALL ME A DOCTOR!! This was awesome. I know how it feels to be in that position. But then when I get out of it I get angry and if you want to read the angry side of all this read my poem "Hate is Wasted" You may or may not like it. Keep these writin skills up, dawg. Ok..yeah no...but really you write awesome...

    excellent

    It's like you whent inside my head and picked a poem that says exactely how I feel.
    I love this line
    I would give you
    All I have
    To be held in your arms
    I would also give all I had to be held in the arms of the man I like. But unfortunately he is out of reach. Sad yet amazing write.

    So many illusive treasures just out of our reach, sure makes them all the more tempting! When we do catch one, is it as good as it seemed? But then, those things out of reach that we truly want, we would give up much to have it. Well done.

    This definitely speaks of obssesion, well titled, and well written. I like that you added ...

    I would give you
    All I have
    To be held in your arms

    that is so often the case...

    Well done..

    Very very nice Miss Blush... I was thinking you might have called this "out of reach"... either way, it is certainly obsession too. Captured so nicely here- all of the emotions for when we strive so hard to be with someone, but always seem to fall short for one reason or another.

    The structure works and word choice was solid- per usual.

    Nicely done

    Kindest regards,
    Kimmie

    i enjoyed this very much. what did you do? kidnap these emotions and place them in jars to sprinkle over your poems? the picture goes very well with this write. wonderful word choice and lovely imagery.

    ok susan, i need to ask you a question...

    HOW THE HECK DID YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING!!!!!

    lol, i bet you thought i was getting mad at my sister, but nope, i'm just curious how you knew exactly how i was feeling (i mean, what more proof do you need than the poem i just asked you to read of mine!!!??? Lol...)

    I honestly had a dream a few days ago where he was waiting for me as i was getting ready after school, but once i was ready, he was gone :(...

    It almost broke my heart...

    and the poem kicked ass susan, how do you keep doing it, writing poems that i can not only relate to, but that i love to read??

    lol, i love you too susan, and thanks for the happy birthday, means a lot

    AWE! It brings a tear to the eye! This is an excellent write! It's so soft and beautiful, with just the right ammount of saddness; one emotion doesn't overpower the other really. Very good. You have much talent!
