The mountain did spawn a mouse-
Trifling frustration....

Disillusion: Uncaged, balding dogs :
staring, grinning, careening,

The wet snow becomes slush,
and turning into rain...
makes all the pines weep
as people in grief.
Long barges glide
like gondolas
in Venice,
but no song
is sung
today
to
love.

Eyes choose to keep closed
Paining is what they do see
Life; earth torn apart

Eyes meant for beauty
Innocence and radiance
Wanting no ugly disease

Eyes aiming for love
Eyes blurred by disillusion
By Life, fair and foul...

Blisters of
disillusion
fester 
and boil

Vision
rubbed raw
in the darkness
embroiled 

False 
expectations
lie scattered
and burned

Ignoring
our history
with lessons
— unlearned

Living in the sunless cold hutch of till death do us apart, sits a chipping soul.

Never had he thought she did be a blotch of many shades.
Spitting and pouring scorn on his dreams of a happy home.

“What? Are you even a man? Your mates are out there...”...

To live in the embraces of 
of self-love
means
letting go

of the toxicity–
of the negativity–
of the disillusion–
of the fear–
and of the doubt.

All of these at one point 
make us feel safe, 
but the truth is 
they will ensnare worth
like pestilence ensnaring breath....

She was mercurial
moving swiftly and purposefuly
Elusive and clever
her wit was bottomless
the quintessential Gemini woman
no one could capture, edit or disillusion her
she was imaginative and fun
She had concrete ideals
the dragon was her power animal
guarding her chameleon mind...

Caged up in the brain’s shackles of lust and lies
Rags of despair disillusion and utter reformed thoughts hang
Puddles of thick perverse actions gather and stain crimson  
For he is a mirage of false hope cascading over your senses
Then final reiteration of the branded instant’s ultimate sound....

In stillness and silence, I hold it all in.
The dirt and disease underneath my skin,
born of the fall, and wrought from sin,
withers within.
My blood is filthy, in need of transfusion.
My life is stale, full of disillusion.
Jesus' blood is pure and lively.
Have I asked Him today to dwell inside me?...

Open thy eyes
Do not hide from
the worldly beauty
that surrounds thee

Open thy heart
Do not keep it apart
From thy earthly body
that engulfs thee

Open thy mind
And you will find
Peace and contentment
Not disillusion and discontentment

Open thy soul
So you will know
the unlimited flow
From deep within...

As the evenfall advances, Lord Sayron
Reflects alone in the old and dark castle
Where has gone all the magical illusion
Disillusion had won the final battle
Carrying with him the armor and sharp sword 
Abandoned finally his sanctuary
Searching for an answer that begin looking
And listening carefully heart insighting....

My confusion 
And my disillusion
Sheds no blood but my own 
My secrets 
My regrets
everything I have never shown 
My apathy 
And atrophy 
Takes away all light 
My weakness 
And meekness 
Takes away any fight 
My lying 
And dying 
Burns through me 
My love and care 
Through so much to bear 
If only you could ever see....

He’s a beaten man
His shoulders rounded
From the throes of life
From disappointment
To disillusion

His eyes sunk and sallow
His voice weak and hollow

His joy long lost 
Along with everything else
That makes life worth living

He’s given up
Can’t take any more
But still standing

It’s the one’s that we hurt
Although we don’t try
Ripping their world
Leaving questions of “why”

Moving carefully
Always looking back
Cautiously stepping
Trying to use tact

Painful disillusion
From what can not be
Maybe good for you
But not good for me

The pain still comes
To those in our path
There is no avoiding
Love’s aftermath...

grey drapes the colour of my realm
thick heavy fog pervades over
my thoughts that wander
to where I do not know
i cannot see

in bursts of silence
i gasp for air
a stagnant emptiness
is all i find

it boils it rages
and yet i feel it true
that with tomorrow
blue skies may come again

THE CYNICISM OF DISILLUSION or Perhaps Hamlet was right.

Disillusion frames the drama of our lives
As we lurch through props and sets with pratfalls tripped
Wood Pigeon soars to self applause and then subsides 
Fine woven fabric inadvertently is ripped
Why essay to climb the peak, perchance the ending
Where demise succeeds your rise, while descending

Listen to poem:

Who knew you were so mechanically incline
My cardiac specialist, you fixed the broken in mine
Who knew you possessed such a green thumb
Growing feelings in a salted heart that was numb
Who knew you could build something out of nothing
Filling the void, the abyss, the hole with your everything
Who knew you could be a blanket wrapping me
Without disillusion, with you, I am who I want to be...

deep within my rotten soul
lies hatred and disease
i wander through lonely rooms
knife in hand
blood dripping from my lips

i slice off my skin and bones
words resonate in my wounds
through paths of disillusion i roam
dragging vowels by their weary hair

suicidal corpses trail in my wake
chaos created wherever i go
i plunge my blade in stupid ignorant faces
pray you dont test my rage...
