he forever eluded me these long years,
thinking, chancing here and there,
and dizzy in night dreams, lost in a surreal
world of the never-to-be.
i heard his thoughts, elusive one,
felt his pain, knew the things that slipped
from his grasp, for they were my own,
just as the longings he held within.
he forever eluded me, never arrived,
yet i inhaled the air on quiet nights
by the water’s edge and i could smell
the memory of moments that might never come.
he forever eluded me, yet perhaps he was here,
standing in the space where i was,
breathing the air that filled my senses,
but in another dimension or time,
wondering why i forever eluded him.
