"Worthiness"

A light
Shining dimly through the darkness
Reaching out to me
Holding me, drawing me close
Comforting, caring, a whisper of love
The warmth of companionship

I follow, I listen to the voice
Falling in a trance
Falling in love
My eyes half-closed
My ears perked forward
My nose filled with the beautiful scent
Of that which I seek

I reach out and find
A woman
Beautiful, clothed in the raiment of angels
As perfect as the morning dew on a petal
A smile as warm as the summer sun
Eyes that twinkle
A goddess in her own right

But although she notices me
She cannot reach out to me
She cannot touch me
She cannot bring me comfort
Or love
Or companionship
Forever am I denied her
Forever separated

I long for her
For her love, her touch, her caress
But that I shall never have
For although I care for her
Although I love her
I shall never
Ever
Be worthy
