Poem from a few months ago-not finished

My heart is broken
facing the unrelenting permanence
of real -
the real that keeps us apart.
And I linger in the sorrow
for want of any idea
of what else to do
The other real, will also not retreat
I prefer the latter to look upon

Real of my soul
and the radiance that grows
when you and i reach out
and find one another

to want and want what cannot be
