Deception, Distortion
Conceptions alike
The Fun House Mirror
Glares at me
But I refuse
To fall into its perception.
A sphere of myths
The bitter gall
Is tasted in my mouth.
Feet planted firmly
I press forward
Unwilling to believe
To perceive.
If one could learn from the stallions...
Enfold life with innocence and hope
Unemcumbered
Refuse to throw the Cinderella Ball
Abandoned
And let it come tumbling
Down the stairs
The glass shards a paradox
Of delusive crystals.
I want to believe in the delicacy beyond
To preside once more
The quiet sprinkling
Of a soft shimmer
A whisper of harmonic refrains
Supple to the soul.
This is beautiful! You really have a wonderful ability to capture the essence of a poem.
