They Will Never Find Me

Unlikely anyone would look for me
But if they did I'd not be hard to see
Catching my attention might be harder
As it is seldom with it's bodied partner
One possibly could find me in a book
Distracting me might garner you a look
If looking from a sub under the sea
The bottom is the place where I will be
Go into outer space and search the stars
My secret hang out is the planet Mars
If music is a place where you elope
I'll be hanging on the passing notes
Since time has now become my enemy
I often hide inside a memory
Should you see me sitting near a stream
You'll find I have withdrawn into a dream
To say that you have found me might be true
But truth be told, you only have these clues

A great, grand poem, Daniel. An innerspace mystery wrapped in an enigma told in your own cool, cryptic matter-of-fact Philip Marlowe poetic detective license style. You sure know how to weave those words, brother. Solid gold fave. Love and peace always.

Let's elope to The Ballroom of Romance Daniel. Or let's play hide and seek among the planets. Anything to get your head out of that book. You must be reading your own poems, they are so good.
