Elusive Love

I look for you in a mist gray and thick Swirling and spilling beyond my fingertip. Gently in my dreams you pirouette and glide Leaving a trail of glitter as I peacefully smile. Waking contented I feel happy and warm Remembering your dance out on the moor. In a garden where roses show off their bloom A faint fragrance wafts upon your trail of tulle. In the sunshine certainly you cannot escape But your shadow upon the wind does race. I seek you then on a bright moonlit eve Hoping to catch you upon the surly breeze. Why do you elude me while I search in vain Is it your pleasure when you see my pain? Show yourself and come sit with me soon For it is the lack of you that makes me swoon.
