UNATTAINABLE, by                    
First Line: Why hover close with tantalizing charm
Last Line: While weeping inwardly with vain regret.


Why hover close with tantalizing charm,
And witching imagery's illusive gleam?
Your fascinating, captivating dream
Wakens my deadened soul to grave alarm,
Lest the bruised spirit craving beauty's sky
Ignore the unattainable again
Fanning to flame, deep longing all in vain,
And aim, anew, to scale the vault on high.

You frolic, flirt and laugh along the way.
Your path beguiling, calling, always near.
Your heavenly goal alluring as you sway
The destinies of millions. Filled with fear
They follow the illusive star you set,
While weeping inwardly with vain regret.
