Beyond My Reach

Beyond My Reach, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

a pebble
on the sands
kissing
the waves
of life
a mortal
the lord
above
i beseech
peace
hope
humanity
in a classroom
i teach
but my
bonny
lies across
the ocean
million miles
away
beyond
my reach
as a poet
stuck
to her
insensitive
woman's soul
like leech
