Elusive Self

Diamente: Truth vs. Half-truth

Poetry challenge: Diamante.

Truth

Elusive, relative

Eye-opening, attracting, never-ending

Distant

Distant when I see,

You’re an elusive glory,

Heart pounding when you come closer,

I hope it does not falter.

I see you for a moment,

Then the world becomes silent.

Love Me Too?

I profess the affection I can’t hide anymore,

Love which you give bittersweet flavor.

Over the time which caused pain in my splendor.

Victory to me is such a huge favor.

Eager enough for your elusive reply,

Kind you are, but left me a sigh,

I realize I get nothing and just cry,

Rift away and off we fly.
