MIRAGE

She shimmers.

She shines.

She stays before me

as after image

long after she's gone away.

She leaves me wishing I had more to say

ways to play with her

longer

I feel stronger about her

every day.

No matter how little

she is before me

her after image remains

only slightly fading

barely degrading

as I watch her change

little by little

in my eyes.

She shimmers

and shines

and singes my soul

wishing there was a larger part

of her whole that was mine.

But all that's left

all I can hold

is this after image

which sometimes

I imagine

is enough.
