To want so much and be denied

Larry Lowry 1959 (Pryor)

Free verse
To want so much and be denied. To reach out and a hand slapped away. To reach with your heart they take whips to my poor flesh. One it cuts my back two blood starts to drip down my back. Down my finger tips  three four the skin looks so. You only dream again of love the soulbond of unquestionable to know love. To see the body her laying broken and my soul dammed. As I cannot help to my need of her when she is buried I cannot change what has happened. To reach out and want so much and be denied blood on the ground.
