My Elusive Huffle-Winks

Living next to great lake havenoclue 
spending all of my time just searching
all weathers, knowing one day I’ll find you,
I have smelt you, felt your nasty sting,

why are you so reclusive so mysterious 
due to you I have become the same
friends and family think I’m ridiculous 
laugh, mock when I mention your name,

I know you’re in the lake somewhere 
blue tail Dragonfly told me she saw you
on a dragonflies honour she did swear 
I have no reason not to believe lovely blue,

I will search until death becomes me
one day you will relieve me of my torture 
as I know you may hide but you can’t flee
untiI I find and record you I have no future,

in my mind I picture you as a great dragon
powerful, fearsome, unique yet so beautiful 
want to give up but my instinct I must rely on
just one glance, one photo I’d be so grateful,

after all these years make my life complete 
then I can live a normal life, my boat I’d sink
go places, meet new people, drink and eat
eventually I’ll loose my mind, I’m on the brink,

I say to myself today is my last day on the lake 
as I did say yesterday and the day before that
show yourself prove to me you’re not a fake
let me see you though it would be nice to chat,

please stop this heartache of over twenty years
surface my elusive friend, give me a glimpse 
I need to end this so I can peruse other  careers
show yourself my tormenter you great Huffle-winks.
