for dear life

08/2013

the reason that you're unreachable 

is still the question that haunts me

it wakes me up from the flames

from the beauty that clouds my sight

I've pushed the envelope forward

as far as it is able to go

only to return empty handed

to be left just as hollow as your eyes

like holes that stare through,

this blank future blooms aimlessly

in the face of a vibrant past

and no, I will never let go

instead I will hold onto your spectral

hands for dear life and together we will

walk down streets that are no more

Beautiful old photo and the above lines are perfect. I like to watch the old timers. Holding hand and holding tightly on to love. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Love is complicated...
We hold on to what we cherish most...
Having unconditional love is rare, and "time" is a commodity we should not waste...

A poignant write, Joshua!~xoxo~

Awe, I really enjoyed reading this. I actually can relate to this. I think most people can because it's the truth. I can always feel your emotions when I read your things. That is why I love reading everything you write. Thank you for sharing. :)

Wow I can relate to this. "The reason that you're unreachable" When we're with someone many times theres an aspect that seems unreachable, but we just take a leap of faith and keep going.

This is a great poem. :)

When the one you love do not love you no more and you have to let go of what once was. It's absolutely devastating. I really like your writing.
