    An Arm's Length


    An arm's length is all that I need
    to touch your skin and feel you breathe.
    An arm's length keeps me away
    from knowing the man I think of each day.
    An arm's length is all that I wish
    to learn some truths to add to my list.
    An arm's length is all you can do
    yet I continue to melt into you.
    An arm's length it couldn’t be clearer
    still I pray to have you nearer.
    An arm's length and 200 miles
    that I would drive to see your smile.
    An arm's length most wouldn’t endure
    but I'll take a chance on the one I adore.

    I can hear the longing of the main character of this poem. You have established the voice of the emotion well.

    i know exactly how that feels. to love someone and have them so close but so far away. its really a bitter sweeet feeling. great writting.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
