* Elusive * Poem by Linda Ori

Elusive..........
As the butterfly
You kiss my brow
Then softly fly
Away;

Elusive..........
As the summer breeze
You touch my face
And gently tease
A smile;

Elusive..........
As a fleeting dream
You fill my thoughts
Then quickly seem
To fade;

Elusive..........
As the love I crave
To warm my heart
For all I gave
To you;

Elusive..........
Partly given soul
Though beautiful
Ne'er quite whole
Or true;

Elusive..........
Was our time to be
You could not pledge
Your love to me -

Goodbye.
