Mirage

[aniket22]

I saw you in the desert's gleam,
A glimmer born of heat and dream.
So close you seemed—then slipped away,
A phantom shaped by light and day.

I reached for truth, but touched disguise—
A thirst that lives behind the eyes.

Hauntingly beautiful! The imagery is stunning, and the theme of chasing something elusive resonates deeply. "A thirst that lives behind the eyes" gives me chills – it's like a universal human experience captured in words.
