Elusive Star
He saw her in a crowded room
And right away his love did bloom
But love is wont to be a two-way street
On lonely highways, two hearts never meet
and so he loves her from afar
she, the luster of his elusive star
Radiant Venus saw no need his heart's desire to heed
Cupid's arrow did not succeed
At long last, he must face the fact
That his heart's desire is in the abstract
Love has orbited too far
Yet he can still wish upon a star
Inspired by the Poem: A Vision Upon The Fairy Queen by Sir Walter Raleigh
