Unclear Answers

What is it about her 
that sets my dreams afire? 
How is it she brings out 
each passionate desire? 

Her presence is a myth; 
maybe just a fantasy. 
A phantom in my mind, 
how deep can these feelings be? 

I hear her soothing voice, 
which echoes through my soul. 
Yet absent is her heart 
to fill a lover's role. 

How can one find romance 
when such a gulf lies between? 
Can two hearts intertwine 
when dreams remain unseen? 

Will language be enough 
to keep this spark alive? 
Or must there be soft strokes 
for true love's flame to thrive? 

The answer's still unclear, 
for life's a mystery, 
but in my heart, I'll hope 
that fate is kind to me.
