    Only So Far
    it's the water in the sky
    the sand in the sea
    the wind in your hair
    and the smell of you on me
    that draws me close
    and drags me down
    swallows my lust
    till my lungs must drown
    in  the heaven of your presence
    and the hell of your absence
    and the in-between
    when im not sure what just happened
    follow you in circles
    precious moments  
    minor miracles
    too sick and too sweet
    too thick to drink
    water and sky
    sand and sea
    air and light
    vacuum of night
    breathing in my heart
    and dying in my dreams
    each night and dawn
    a new leaf
    falling from grief

    What a gritty, passionate, and earthy piece! Great writing my friend! "the heaven of your presence, the hell of your absence, and the in-between" (a resounding 10!!!)

    very well written a journey through the frustrations of passion it would appear. I love the heaven and hell reference. I enjoyed this piece.

    I like this its very emotional...I have felt this to. I also sense that there is something missing from it but dont know what and there seems to be love and pain here but not sure. Amad it is a great poem and nothing seems to be wrong with it, this is just what i feel when i read it. Keep writing great work

    its bittersweet...i think you caught the sense of it quite well...there is something missing, its the viewpoint of a man who had something beautiful and lost it...

    I enjoyed the poem and it speaks to me with love and loss. I Sense a great deal of pain and unfortunatley I can more than relate.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
