The elusive love...

A glimpse here and a nudge there,

making its presence felt, 

intermittent and rare.

Like the first few drops of rain, 

after a long and dusty summer, 

The sprinkle and respite, 

mixed in their flavours. 

The erect spine of a new book,

the enchanting whiff of its pages, 

Making me believe I have found 

the wisdom and peace of sages.

Moments of bliss and the seek follows,

like a mirage luring your chase.
I can go on with the 

smilies and metaphors thereof, 

Or I could simply call it, 

The elusive love!
