Chasing Elusive Dreams

Chasing elusive dreams,
So close but yet so far;
It's almost the same principal,
As if reaching for the stars.

It has taken me a lifetime,
To realize what it is I seek;
Peace, love & joy,
In a life that's bitter sweet.

you complicated my poem, "Paper Dreams", several years ago. I think we have a similar vibe in our poems. Just started reading your poems.

very intense as well as poignant.life which is bitter sweet,peace,love and joy are far-fetched dreams...still we hold firmly those dreams which are elusive..but realization comes only later stage of life...sometimes then everything might have gone irrevocably.though very short,it has in depth feelings
