Mirage

Missing image
Would you paint me on a smile
force me to be
a mere illusion
of what I was.

Tilt me
this way
and maybe a
resemblance
will spark;
reality is often
misleading.

Swaying softly
in trimmings
I can be
your Lady of circumstance;
sensing the urgency
of nightfall
leaning into your
desperate embrace.

Reminding myself that emotions,
don't own me.

Author notes

For Criss... try and remember that sometimes it's okay to let your heart rule your mind..

and no silly my muse didn't run away she's just busy with Summer...

    Very nicely written. I really enjoyed this. It was just beautiful! The picture was really cool too. I think it fit the poem well. Keep on writing, until you can't no more!!

    Anything that would put a smile on that dear face would be worth while. And, you certainly do explore feelings so well. Emotions don't own me either, (so I keep telling myself).

    For every thing there is a season. It's good to fly and it's also good to be grounded.
    Balance.

    Very well done although I would take the capital away from the last line and the previous period but keep the separation. Very nice metaphor and allusion.

    Maybe just the mood I am in right now - but I got a sense of loss from these words. It seems to be quite a sad poem to me.

    This is lovely.....almost like tipping the heart over and letting it all run out.

    Such a sad poem! The feeling of emptiness of self is palpable! A very strong poem on many levels!
