Elusive

This is a poem I wrote in 2022. I imagine it roughly to the tune of Maria by Blondie.

I see her up on stage
And think of all the wars in her name I’ll wage
Conquer the ants, destroy the flies
 
But she always slips away
Before I can think of what word to say
I wonder how I’ll ever catch her eye
 
Ariah, she is on fire
A distant quasar burning bright
Ariah, I just want to say hiya
I want to know what’s on your mind
 
She is a mystery
I only know about her what I can see
Spicy pepper apple pie
 
I wonder if she’ll like this song
And I wonder too if I’m doing wrong
But I still have to try
 
Ariah, she is on fire
Both summer day and starry night
Ariah, I just want to say hiya
And ask if I can come on by
 
Ariah, she is on fire
A mythical siren in the choir
Ariah, I just want to say hiya
I’m hoping that you can spare some time
