We are directors of emotions.
Acting away our empty spaces,
in distended dramatisations
of imagined importance.
We live in a world beyond reality,
adding meaning to our small lives.
Inevitably haunted by denied truth,
amplifying failure.
A radiant flash captures half a face,
the events that define lifespans,
leaving a fragmented trace
of imagined reality.
We are not here to last.
We are here to love and conquer.
Inevitably crushed by the weight
of our own futile dreaming.
You are insignificant to me!
I cannot see the reason.
To live to sustain the illusion,
of a bright imagined future.
Please tell me what you think

Very nice concept.
I thoroughly enjoyed this poem.
Line 1: “ We are directors of emotion” – what a good start! How true it is. We are the owners of our own emotion. We have rights to direct it in anyway we want. Very thoughtful, indeed..
Line Four: ‘Imagined importance’ – it says about its insignificance. It’s after all words that convey what we wish, isn’t it?
Lines 5 to 8: It brings me back to the world of reality.
Penultimate stanza and ultimate stanza carry big meaning of what is life and how we live.
I’m impressed. It’s worth spotlighted.
Thanks for sharing. Lols – Kiddy

I found those to be the most powerful words in the write. Unfortunately they resonate with truth....for we all are dreamers, and unless we are extremely strong those dreams will seem futile and will eventually crush us. I always keep the hope though that one day-one time, generations from now [if we could observe] we would be able to say" it was all worth it" we did conquer and we did not dream in vain........

Very hauntingly real...
WOW - Such a view of life is painful, yet these very thoughts cross the minds of humanity every second of each miserable day of our tortuous existence... What a powerful poem you're written! I love it!! Write on, Poet!!! Peace, Cyn

Wrote so boldly and good imageries
to enjoy too! Many stanza's had beautiful pearls in them.
and was astounded at the ending......i thought you were
going to wrap it up differently...
but instead you wanted us to bleeed..in weariness...
as this darn earth just keeps on spinning n spinning.
I really enjoyed your p oem, I bet we all read it twice!
