Elusivity

~

veiled in promise
they beckon me
seductively
the elusive dreams
upon my heart embossed

yet there is a storm
can rage within
to churn at times
my weary mind
focus turned and tossed

the way grows foggy
direction blurred
the path unclear
the purpose slurred
this journey can exhaust

to stay the course
I cast and chart
and reference often
in handmade note
but not every “t” gets crossed

so my life gets lived
in bits and pieces
scribbled on scraps
of random papers
so many soon so lost

in losing them
confusion rises
chaos threatens
hopes can scatter
my elusive dreams the cost

  1. “yet there is a storm
    can rage within
    to churn at times
    my weary mind..”

    I loved the rhyming and flow to this poem. It really captures well the struggle to tame the chaos of a writer’s mind. Well done.

  2. Wonderful word choices here. Some of my favorites are:

    elusive dreams
    upon my heart embossed

    and this whole stanza:

    so my life gets lived
    in bits and pieces
    scribbled on scraps
    of random papers
    so many soon so lost

    =)
