Illusion

These linear roads,
make me search...
and my eyes
they choose to follow you,
across this vast-
ocean of life.
And you,
like the Pied Piper of Hamelin,
Lead me on.
Without awareness- towards the unknown.

And here, I wait,
for the spell to break-
Just this once.
I want to be aware,
awake and still-
follow you,
in all my burning desires.

There-
there you are,
evading me,
against the turquoise of the evening sky;
against the deep blue that fills up,
my half-closed eyelids;
Lurking, waiting,
taking flight even before I have a chance
 to give form to your presence.
