A Story Of Confusion

In my mind's eye, a furious storm...
Thoughts and emotions in jumbled up form.
Often it's bearable, today it's not so.
Two winding stories meet on the same road.

One is of mist, the other of pearl...
Two beauties combine to confuse my world.
Clouds in my mind start to blind me.
Only words reveal what I cannot see.

Mist intoxicates me, flowing through my mind.
She is all around me; only her I can find.
Inviting eyes, but is it a disguise?
... more questions fill my soul.

I reach out to hold her, but she's no longer there.
I want to be close, she vanishes in air.
Beautiful smiles or malevolent wiles?
... the mist can make me whole.

Pearl is beautiful, a gleaming beacon of light.
When she glitters my worries vanish; everything is right.
I want to love her, but she belongs to another.
... please don't be mad at me.

Does the shimmering beauty desire to be held?
Can she and I be under the very same spell?
She is both here to stay and running away.
...the pearl can make me complete.

Magnificent mist... mystical.
Striking pearl... sunshine.
Present time stands still,
Till she says she's mine.
