The Illusion of Love!

In the confines of my dreams, I drink your essence

with such esteemed recitations of arduous libation,

my thirst fulfilled to the brink of seraphic strains.

 

 

I awake flustered from nocturnal musings of

a mind in slumber still dripping thoughts of you.

Thoughts of you that vivified my dreams, so efficaciously.

 

 

Reality careened in and chaos became the staple of

my existence as your voice cascaded cotton-soft

prevarications into eagerly accepting ears.

 

 

Upon your words I feast, masticating them

into my emotionally deprived palate.

I swallow each, desperately needing them

to invoke the compliance my heart seeks.

 

 

Disallusioned am I, as I lie here in consternation,

eluding the truth that is pertinent to the temperament

 of my passion; I crave your acceptance.

 

 

You are my illusion of love, but why your charade?

Why this simulation constructed to deceive?

While desire trickles through my veins to sate me,

why the deceit, these lies that has fettered my soul.

 

 

The gods smiled upon me and the sweet aroma

of Heaven's breath gave being to a vacant shell.

I came to be, and I live, whether in the arms

of angels or clutched by the talons of demons

              I know not.

 

 

As day descends behind the stratus of vagueness,

I will dream again, and murky will be your intentions,

as my ardor will burn into the midnight of my passion.

I asseverate that clarity will accompany tommorrow,

and love will no longer be an illusion.

    Wonderful use of beautiful words. It's painful when love is so vague that it can't clearly be defined, and you captured that ache so well. Beautiful write.

    Players Play On

    Typos: pertinent to thet (that) temperament; While desire trickes/trickles; lies that has/have; talons on/of demons.

    Indeed, there are those players that lead one on and on and on 'til they are gone and one learns there had been more than one all along; for players are motivated by fear: break your heart before you can break theirs is the mentality.

    You did a fantastic job of portraying a player, dearest Sistah! Your phrasing is excellent, the rhythm of emotion palpable. Surely, this will take the GOLD!

    Much luv & hugs, SisBon

    You should really think about changing the colour of the text to black, so I would be able to read it witout getting my eyes irritated. Besides that it is a good poem.
