Notes About The Poem

White Sheet of Illusion

He sung with tender fingers
 the music from his heart
  to one white sheet of illusion,
   that woke up fay and goblin,
    imp and gnome.
     Bounteous elflike star drops
    fell down his eyes and came to life
   in deceptive chromaticity,
  that walked for him..
 A masquerade to mask his pain
His pen spoke with frail intensity
 of Pegasus on golden wings,
  to carry him, to ferry him
   from agony to Neverland—
    where nothing dwells too long
     and all is everlasting youth,
      without the pain of existence.

Freddie Robinson Jr. December 7, 2017 at 6:01 AM Deep write, Darren. Keep dipping that gifted pen in the inky mystic rivers of transcendence. Make us think, make us feel when we think. Heavy innervisions this poem be. Thought provoking density. Powerful poetry. Love and smiles always.
