To possess such a sun makes for a mighty chase;

Much space between us, but also none at all

I reach my hand out, yet the sky is a harsh wall

That prohibits her capture within my embrace

She commands me up a never-ending staircase

I bruise and batter with every stumble and fall

If I must, for her love, on the filthy dirt I would crawl,

The treasure I win by just a glimpse of her angelic face

Yet to possess such a sun burns and blinds my fragile eyes,

If I cease to see, it is hopeless to maintain,

Since with this bliss does come great pain,

My long search of my longed prize

Up above where she sits, no ladder is long enough

To ever reach my diamond in the rough

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;

&quot;Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.&quot; -Lord Alfred Tennyson
