Love Poem: A Mirage

A Mirage

a mirage of love
in a desert of loneliness
a glimpse of hope 
far in the distance

a string upon a labryth floor
the key to open
a long locked door

the solutions to problems
that cause much dismay
the answer to prayers 
prayed that very day

the cure for a sickness
that ail a child
despite patience
there was quickness of time

the clouds that bring rain
to the dry
the sun that brings the light
after the darkest of nights

such are those who spill 
love into our lives
those temporary aquaintences
with which we share delight

the company of a 
pleasant stranger
or the reunion
of old, old friends 

accompanied by the 
welcome thoughts of
what could have been

the highlights of a journey
too soon, come to an end
fare well Charmaine
fare well my new found friend

hope has left and ending
where love was suppose
to begin

they were only mirages of love 
in a desert that has no end
