 So close, so far
you are
the brass ring
i reach for
over and over
your cold shoulder
rubs against
my nature
like an animal
turned away
i circle
agitated, confused
denied the majesty
the revelry
of being
joined with another
in life, in love
in heat, indeed
instead
nothing
will do
without you

the sparse style you've chosen only adds to the emotional impact of this poem. well-done!

This has power like The Ring itself, Joseph!! It has that (very much pared-down and poetic!) Tolkien mysticism and yet earthy soulfulness to it somehow, too. Just love your discipline with the sparseness of this write, and yet you say so much and in so many different directions: the mark of good poetry! This seems a "viscious circle" indeed and I can really relate to the "back-turned"-thing... no worse feeling of being "shut out" than that! Can sense the agony and frustration here. Much applause!
