differentiated perception
delights but deludes
if we stagnate
in illusions...

I Dream of a Place
I wish to live in a place
 that makes me dream of chimeras,
 not that deludes me!...

Eyeing Tomorrow
No need to be good
when chasing the great
The moral imperative
deludes and conflates

With blinders on horses
we ride through the fray
Our eyes on tomorrow
— in search of today

(Dreamsleep: May, 2024)

noticing how flawed perception deludes
we glide in and out of the flow of life
embracing and releasing images 
mindfully enlivening all by touch
in an aspect of joyous playfulness 
effusing love through our radiant heart...

Premium Member Stringed Free Will
Daring desire blooms in desert cactus 
Sun-gilded mirage allures
Elusive betrayal oasis recedes
Dream dunes collapse.

The actor Bedouin strides on stage 
Stringed free will deludes
Puppet’s poignant passion
Dances to the destiny designed rhythm....

Illusion
Very strange and unexplorable 
is this illusion in our mind.
It is like a glittering pearl 
in our darkness inside.

It knits a fine linen with joy and dreams 
Decorates the cloth with alluring things.
This sorcerer engulfs and covers us 
With it’s dire hypnotism.
Then finally deludes and deceives us 
So miserably with blankness.

Poetic Change
Interesting
 how the same words once iterated
 tend to flow, just a little differently
 than ever before, now placated.

The rhyme pursued,
 free verse deludes
 standards not quite right
 or good enough this night.

There lay a transition
 new poetic positions
 for the poets listening
 intent of finding what is missing.

Who decides
 what is poor or best
 as a heart and mind abide
 the poetics of poetry's tests.

Power's Weakness
The crazed obsession 
    to rule the lives of others
rends the ruler's humanity 
    into tatters,
feeds, fills and bloats 
    his overweening vanity,
deludes the ego 
    with invincibility.

But stripped of his mask, 
    the tyrant shall fall apart
for pomp and vainglory hide 
    a sham, hollow heart
of a cursed, cowering canine 
    that creeps to crawl
through labyrinthine caves 
    of what's left of his soul!...

Mystery
It is one of those days again,
where everything is off track,
It is one of those days again, 
I try and never find my way back,
always lost in this common misconception,
perhaps dazed by my own reflection,
Satisfaction deludes and misconstrues,
hope feels lost without you,
Who abuses me,
but me,
Who accuses me,
only me,
Never deny the evidences,
truth always follows every lie,
Can't hide that which refuses to stay shrouded...

The Reign Must Fall
The tyrants psyche is broken.
He sits in his gilded palace
Surrounded by his trusty band
Of armed thuggish cutthroats, waiting
For the inevitable end.
Outside the palace walls a crowd
Of angry, loathing citizens
Whose long suppressed voices bellow
An immediate regime change;
But like most tyrants of the past
Ego and self-aggrandizement
Deludes clear, rational thinking;
As a result, grasping at straws
Hoping for the impossible....
