Ghosts

By delusions, 
By obsessions,
By anxieties,
By fears
I’m trapped.
They’re buried now
& will appear to me later
In ugly ways.


Premium Member Deadly Delusions

I Could
Hypo-Chondriac My Way
Straight Into Another
Heart Attack That
I Never Knew I'd
Had.

Weird.

Delusions

I hear your whispered promises
And feel your longing embrace
The zephyr brings your soft kisses
With a yearning that i can almost taste

Untitled #35 / "desires Are Already Memories"

“Desires are already memories”
Are your memories not also desires?
Cast away these two delusions!
Only this very moment exists!
(Look! The sun rises!)

Empty Delusions

luring oasis
sweet source of refreshing life
     naught but a mirage

Delusions

Loving you was a delusion
I was never in love with you
I was in love with what we 
could be
The memories we could've 
made
The stories we could have told

PTSD Mode

No relaxation
Must keep my distance from you
I see flashbacks of your face
You don't have me trapped
Your comments I will ignore
I'm safe from your delusions

Mister Trump had been taking Demerol
But he collapsed after 'building the wall'
   Delusions of grandeur  
   Left him iron-poor
His doctor said, "Switch fast to Geritol!"

In the Shadows

You don't believe me,
when I say I can hear them.
I can see them,
I can feel them.
They make me do things,
going along with my delusions.
It's not my fault,
it's theirs.

Overwhelmed by video games
Jail?! Institution?!

Life still challenge

Throne of Lies

sitting upon
throne of lies 
listening to
own acclaim 
living within 
a castle 
crafted out 
of misrepresented 
reality 
placed atop 
a mountain 
of grandiose delusions

00:26 - Vile Delusions

Imagination: enemy
I hate the worlds you paint for me
Believe the lies you fabricate
I love the lies, but then awake
To find no truth in your disguise
Another dream for naive eyes.
Form: Rhyme

Delusions

The silence engulfs me
The only sound I hear is the one in my head
Delusions beyond sanity
I listened so silently
As the yelling grew louder
Closer
More pronounced
Then I was awake
sad

Premium Member Falling on my delusions

The news provide harsh lessons.
I was so naive about politics & politicians.
It's not about creating a better world.
Where did I ever get that idea?

Delusional

There once was a nutter quite frightful
Who spent so much time being spiteful
   When confronted with truth
   Completely debunking her sleuth
She barreled into delusions most delightful!

Premium Member The creep-state'

It slithers and slides..' It hints and nudges..'
Derides! sheds skin. Confusing identity.'s
Yet some intently see ' in conundrums and
Delusions scattered seeds and such patterns
 of un-reason.'

The Hardest Pill To Swallow

Letting go -
The hardest pill to swallow
But you have to. 
The art of sacrifice - 
Stop believing in lies
Open you eyes.
Giving up -
Not the best decision
But you have to stop those delusions.

Premium Member Dear Doer!

Descend from above
Do daring deeds of love.
Deepen the horizons
Deviate the delusions
Dark clouds are tentative
Divine grace is operative.
Do you see the daffodils?
Dare to bloom even on hills.

Premium Member delusions waver away

My days full of joy.
Delusions waver away
like the fading colors of the rainbow. 
Strife is turned into peace
as nightingales and their chicks
sing in concert within the stage of the night.
