Best Illusionist Poems

A Magician never divulges his secrets 
So how he managed to break my heart while already broken
I’ll never know
It was not viable, 
Then again, any trick can be duplicated, if remembered correctly  

Rewind, replay, on my mind
Was it a slight of the hand?
The flick...

As I was walkin’ down the street
I thought I saw him ahead,
I followed on trembling feet
wherever he led.

We threaded through the crowd
And entered a dark lane.
The sun blushed behind a cloud
As I leapt into his arms again.

Tear blind eyes freed my senses
To see the monster...

The  Illusionist

      The illusionist is a clever man,
      With an assistant aiming to distract.
      He attempts to confuse us when he can
      As we...

The Great Illusionist
You tried to defeat the beast 
But failed to bring them your truth and virtue 
The people’s hearts showed no mercy
The master servant of the people 
And all they did was put you on the highest steeple 
The steeple of shame and dishonour...

He stands there
looks you straight
in the eye
And begins to tell
you the truth when
you know it’s a lie

He has become
confident in his own
manipulation tactics
An illusionist using
smoke and mirrors as
a distraction

What he has not come
to realize in his
life of delusion 
Is the audience is
not fooled by his
tricks...

You made me believe in magic 
In casts and spells, my life went on 
It turned very well yet so tragic 
When everything was just tricks and made of illusion....

The soft breeze
From my lips leaves shivers
Running down your spine
Maybe I should close the door;
And shut the blinds...

ILLUSIONIST


                                I FIND MYSELF QUITE AMAZED THAT AGAIN      ...

A top hat and a cane
A trickster’s smile dancing upon his lips.
Blank magic up his sleeve
Doves in a handkerchief.
The stag light comes to life
And curious eyes fall silent.
Smoke and lights appease the mind
Oo’s and Aa’s fill the room
Never noticing the slight slip of a hand
An...

Your vision was meant for you 
so don't let anyone else stop 
you because there blind in 
what 
they should see so instead they 
try to tell you who you can be 
You live to one day be free
You sacrifice to one day find 
infinite...

The world flaunts her stunning self,
gorgeous curves and all,
and the wide-eyed onlooker gapes at her,
drooling, intoxicated with love,
nose upturned slightly, drinking in
the fragrant smells emanating from 
her direction,
roses and flowers, a blend,
sweet, with a slight hint of something sharp.
He doesn’t notice it.
She flicks her hair,
tossing

IDLE ILLUSIONIST-

intensely
interestingly
incredibly

idly
impatiently amidst the crowded stage
inevitably
the intelligent illusionist includes intellectually
as he asks for the abdicates parade
the insecure illusionist improves idiotically
identifies insanely the interesting illusionist invests intensely
interestingly indicates incredibly
the intense illusionist intends innocently

incorporates impatiently
investigates inevitably
the intelligent illusionist includes intellectually

I'm nothing else
that an intermediary
between healing and disillusionment...
I am unwritten verse
when I'm not understood...
I'm a steppe wolf howl
when I provoke strangeness...
I just wanted to be a simple door
that offers passage,
Window that shows landscapes...
I wanted to be answers
to all dreams
and daydreams, raptures
of ecstasy...
love and passion for
who...
