Mirage Poem by angel dzidula komla gbedemah

See that which sparkles;
Glowing majestically from afar;
Attracting my eyes;
It appears irresistible;
I think I like it.

I observe cautiously,
So I venture not that which I deserve not.
I sense happiness,
I smell comfort,
I believe those that possess,
These glorious pebbles are always joyous

I think I deserve it,
Must I voyage for it?
My luggage I pack,
Preparing for a journey,
To obtain that which is invaluable,
That which sparkles from afar;
That which brings joy on its possessors;

Hmmm... A tiresome journey,
The glow diminishes as I get closer.
I persevere to possess it,
Yet the nearer I get the farther it moves.

But it looks real!
Or am I been deceived?
OH! No, I must get it.
Sweating profusely,
Endeavoring to be joyous;

Ah! Ah! Hmmm...
Pity me!
It is actually a mirage.
It exists not.
Love just looks real from afar,
But the closer I got,
The farther it flew.
