Reaching out

I’m reaching out

Arms spread wide

Embracing emptiness

Feels so fulfilling

 

Perpetual searching

Left me in a state of mind

Voices speaking softly

Shouting to make me see

 

I’m reaching out

Can’t you see

Trying to find

That what’s already there

 

Unable to accept

Eyes wide open yet I’m blind

Trying to hold on to

Everything passed me by

 

I’m reaching out

My hands disappear into darkness

The sweet feeling

Understanding it’s long gone

 

Venturing my cold heart

It burns my touch

To the bone forgotten

And forever glued to my retina

 

I’m reaching out

Forgetting myself in the crowd

Standing strong

So weak I fall into remembrance

I�m reaching out
Can�t you see
Trying to find
That what�s already there

Venturing my cold heart
It burns my touch
To the bone forgotten
And forever glued to my retina

That is such a clever line.. and forever glued to my retina
Every last line of each verse is really good..
Truly enjoyed this poem, Anata.

Your reaching out reminded me of an episode of "Night Scoop" in japan. A man would stand on street corners in Osaka with a bi-lingual sign asking for hugs. No one gave him hugs until the tv cameras started. lol. Your poem is perfect. i could not figure out "To the bone forgotten" but apart from that its a nice poem.
