illusion

illusion--
elusive!

love--
tender branch.
succulent breath
whispering
inaudible.

faint star
dwindling,
twinkle
behind clouds
shrouded.

love--
exhausted,
expensive
high cost,
lost self.

love--
delicious cherry
beyond reach,
seeking you with
eyes unseeing.

love--
swollen dream
incomprehensible,
uninhabited sleep:
restless dawn.

love,
illusion:
elusive!
