Dancing along the edges of my mind
like a spirit
you might have glimpsed
I feel you
but you are not there
a memory
of something never known
in my mind
a melody that calls me
a song without words
like the heat that rises
off the desert
you are a mirage
mere illusion
promising reality
if I go to you
will you dissapear
never having truly existed
a fiction of my mind
dreams of water
of life in the desert sands
you are all I want
and all I cannot have.
