Like A Illusion Poem by Gert Strydom

Like an illusion you always stay
just out of my reach
and maybe I chase too hard
after my ideals and poetry
and for sure there is more
which life asks.

Sometimes when I look out of the window
I see you passing outside,
but it’s only in my thoughts

When I look at my life
I want to find you in it
and I wish that I
could create magic with words
and cast them
like a catching net over you,

then I would have been able
to have you with me
and you would have really known
how much I love you.
