At Last, a Couplet

Couplet form poetry, to me you are so elusive My mind a stage as you act like a fugitive Letters and words are playing hide and seek Hidden in my thoughts, I must know the trick Every two lines where ending syllables rhyme I started to hunt phrases with patience of time Shall it take years of scribbling out a piece Now I focus to inscribe, evading the abyss Afraid this might not be as good as others' craft Almost I crumple my simple unfinished draft But slave I am of poetry's enthralling beauty I ought to complete my first couplet entry - author's note - my first Couplet attempt, didn't know if I've done justice to the form :(
