Through Illusion

 

I haven’t been the same, a longer road, a lot to discuss. Heaven seems far off, aloof at intervals, pushing one to try harder; like athletes, it’s never enough, & then, they retire.

I never knew her, nor studied her, to have missed some illusion.

Time was invested, it had its purpose, in something delusional, came a story, a saga, if souls would begin.

I haven’t a clue to it, adjusted, & shall again.

I see her typing, either falsifying happiness, or enjoying daylight.

I see myself listening inside, digesting cosmos, eating universality; such complex pictures, loud xylophones, silent clarinets.

I could’ve on some level, often, it doesn’t matter how we respond.

With sarcasm carries hurt, truth, neglect & dice.

In never adoring her, I lost self, I disowned happiness.

Sky particles. Indecent luxuries. Decadent delights.

Smothered comforts—long mental lines, hard to falsify happiness.     Duvet wrapped, passions astray, adoring what I’ve not met.

In trying to unstress self, pressure arose, palming delicate times.

In ignoring reality, slopes slipped, inevitable sun whispers.

Captured in a matrix, polishing moon rise, hesitant concerning wonder.     I grabbed belief in order to survive, I made it through high tides, I begin to question what sustained me—it seems human.

Love is many realities, several ghosts, disguised by innocence.     I never approach with wants, nor offer sunshine, on a colder morning.     Some backstory, deeper in woods, flaming as we chance.
