Beyond My Reach (ePub)

An endeavor of love, is the only way to aptly depict the motivation and deep love flowing from her heart into this poetry compilation from the outside to the inside. Beyond My Reach is unique in that it was written from the free world to an incarcerated lover. With much love, more than 200 poems were written to express the intense love thriving within this lonely sweetheart during the last four years, the length of their heated romance from a distance.Ms. Sapphire's amorous declarations of devotion were the only inspiration needed to profess her passion and write the first poem, I Close My Eyes. She never imagined then, the poetry would someday amass into a quantity great enough to fill a book. Written solely to verbalize new emotions of love, each poem in this book was inspired by one young man confined behind tall concrete walls and razor wire of the penal system...—————————————————BEYOND THE WALLSEach day you face a dismal existenceWondering what's beyond that prison wallSo many youthful years you've wastedWhat made you err, you barely recallDouble locked doors quarantine your lifeIn triple layered concrete cagesTall dual fences, loops of razor wireStand sentinel over inmates of all agesIncarceration has taken a deadly toll on youNever trusting, dreading each new dawnPrivacy embezzled by constant vigilanceLeaves you silent, fearful and withdrawnThe world is soon forgotten behind the wallsAs you obey endless, ever-changing rulesConstantly watching your back, danger lurksFearing brawls, protecting your family jewelsBeing an inmate with untainted recordDouble locked doors will surely open for youLiving on the outside can soon resumeYou've learned your lesson, freedom is overdueYour true love awaits you beyond those wallsWhen you're thrust from that dismal wombBorn again to embark on a new journeyYou'll emerge from your dungeon of doom.March 12, 2001For more information, please go to the www.mesapphire.com.
