An Illusion



Stare at an empty screen,
Think thoughts of a memory,
Remember plans of the future,
And fill the screen with words.

Life is a maze, but then again,
So is death;
Make the sudden change,
From one extreme to the other

Be one with the universe
Be whole and broken,
See what you cannon see,
Be what you cannot be.

So what of the dwindling hope,
The frayed edges of your faith,
So what of the losing battle,
Wreaking war within your mind.

The heart will die,
But tell me,
What happens to the spirit?
Does it do what you want?

Or does it too die within deaths cold embrace.
An embrace that heals,
But makes more pain,
To live or not, in the paths of the wise.

So be as one, inside the grandness,
Of your deaths most creative illusion,
An illusion of might, an illusion of power,
An illusion of an illusion.

Author notes

So i was in creative writing and it was near the end of the lesson and i was struck with a case of writers block. so i started writing, and this is what came out.. totally random i know but its interesting, if you can understand it that is.

Please tell me what you think

    Living's a lie
    Breathing's betrayal
    Death is the final
    Coffin in the nail

    I loved this write. Death, regardless of how we think about it, is inevitable. I found this to be a truly profound write. You are a true artist with the english language. You have excellant wordplay and your structure work is second to none!

    Fantastic!!

    This is a great read. Certainly leaves you with pause for thought. Sometimes writers block can produce the best poems, as it has here. Way to go!

    Wpw what a beautiful and so very thought provoking way of coming out of writer's block. Often just writing out thoughts at any given moment are so very powerful an poetic, as this is.
    All the best with it my dear

    To me it's like the living a lie thing. It's all just an illusion and it becomes to deep that it's an illusion of an illusion, as you say. It's great, especially for something from writers block. Never had a true bout of it myself, Bandaid just lucky I guess.
