For they are pigments of my,

Imagination....

A free concert on a desert island;?
Fell for imagination,
just a smoky figment....

Who am I? 
Am I a figment of color
On a background of noise?
Am I an indecision?
What an I? 
An idea lined by words?
Unknown....

the thermostat’s kept so low ~ my amputated phantom-pained toes freeze

Lithe, graceful,
light as air
barely human,
a figment
of imagination,
vagrant dreams,
attraction
to like parts, 
a certain lilting
smile....

WHAT CRUEL FATE
HAS TWISTED
THIS MESS
THIS MADNESS
THIS MONSTROSITY
THIS BLACK HOLE
OF A THING
INTO ME
WHOSE BLEAK VISION
WAS MADE REALITY....

What is faith
but a journey
What is time
but a moment
What is truth
but a figment
What is love
— but goodbye

Won’t slip from

Mind’s eye of yore

Won’t let foil

The cull I’ll make

Live for truth

Not for figment

Just leave the past behind

The blood drips from the page.
Intoxicating smell perforates, ensues.
Taking back again. Female apparatus.
Figment of an over zealous imagination.
A dream, fantasy personified....

Honesty is always the best policy
Too bad our leaders are sub par, biologically
It's in their genes
You know what I mean
A figment of their distorted minds idolatry...

Her smile was like the dawning sun
Illuminating colors in my life; 
Yet comes dusk she'll be reduced
Into a figment of my mind.

The joy brought by the thought of her
Is the woe of my emptiness....

I slip into a figment of imagination,
I find desire.
A place where I seek validation,
I become a Liar.
Our new human salvation,
I embellish the fire.
Social media: the place we all admire....

The Wind

Billowing trees, rustling leaves,
Moving objects through its breeze.
Cold air rushing down the path,
Just a figment, of nature’s wrath!

Where is the child I seek?
Is it hiding or is it dead?
Has it long ago been amputated? 
And it is the phantom that exists.
Or is its existence just a myth?
And only a figment in my mind’s labyrinth....

Whither thou goest?
Thy wither showest.
Ruddy in pigment,
but a wee figment.
In bas relief,
exceedingly brief.

The You I love is not the real You,
It is just the figment of You in the virtual world..
I don't even know whether You will ever pop out of the screen,
But if you do,I'm not sure whether I'll love the real You!...

My life is a clatter
of things I'll never understand,
nomadic heart I hear you
like the leaves morning chatter.
Nowhere stands within me
like the figment of a bulb,
gracefully small to infinite matter,
I wonder....

Money, money, money, the bane of our existence
First, you see it, then you don't, only exists by persistence
Perhaps a figment
Constantly mimicked
Not really real, too quick to be real, I need assistance...

In a goofy world there are goofy people.
In a perfect world there are perfect people. 
But in your world there is just you. 
Everyone else is just a figment of your imagination. 
Now stop daydreaming and get back to work....

S himmering girth cloaking my footsteps
H ologram dredging my fleeting essence
A bridging lines covering time and space
D iminishing returns of temporal being
O utline coarsely cloning my dimensions
W ispy figment mocking my visual acuity...

Your dreamy bold curious unstable eyes
Juicy lips mounted with sober plausible sexy ties
Though silent yet propulsive pensive piercing voice
Curly hair, bare shoulder possessing fervid demise
All is enough to drive my sincere soul over flies...

When I was a little girl
I had an imaginary ghost friend
whose name was Near
everyone always
thought for sure
that she was so much 
a real little girl
but little did they knew 
she was nothing 
but a figment of my childish imagination...
