Sunset of Illusions In Night Womb

Sunset of illusions
Of day
With dusk

To my womb
Of peace
And Love

Urge

There's
an urge
to break free
of illusions,
empty traditions,
cage of desires.
There's an urge-
My spirit, 
Soar!

I dream of Heaven—
I polish clouds with longings
scraping the ground bare
underneath for my liftoff
to escape from gravity

Transcience

lightning thunder peals
laughter flashing smiles vanish
in a blink of eye
illusions fleeting binders
what is what was, tragedy

Premium Member Thought of the day

memory joins the dots in time
akin to illusions replayed
within heart resounds bliss beat’s chime
reminding us that we have strayed

Premium Member Chasing shadows to mirages

chasing a light's glow
is fraught with daft illusions
shadows grow and fade
mirages beckon off-road ~
echoes are hopes oft broken

Cloudy skies have beauty, too
               Galaxies of gray with illusions of blue

Looking for joy eternal amidst illusions ephemeral 
No different from a fox chasing its tail in play comical

Illusions

Imagination
It colors your five senses.
To write what's not there.

relativity
evokes response
heart yet equanimous 

the witness is desireless 
in, within but not of
dance of illusions

Premium Member Schism

You took innocence
sow seeds in maturing brain
create illusions
in the name of the father...
a lattice for prejudice.

Chasing illusions

Chasing illusions
I lived my life
turning ghosts
into knights
talking to walls
carrying inside
a strong need 
to be liked.

begin with spirit
flirtation with the ego
return to our soul
the dream in between prolongs
hypnotised by illusions

You can't believe everything you see, you just can't trust your eyes.
A picture's worth a thousand words, but they may all be lies.

Night of days

Life is short, just gone
Time is less, end is on
Nights and days, mists
Opportunities illusions
I don’t exist, life is gone

Premium Member fear of freedom

afraid to let go
we dwell in our comfort zone
in the web of illusions

befriending silence
as awareness self-aware
we discover light of Self
Form: Sedoka

Premium Member Thought of the day

fear not illusions and darkness of night 
dawn’s light bestows clear sight
befriending silence in stillness awake
know the rope is not the snake

Religion puts souls high in lights
Evolution cuts down these rites
Relation to ape
On the species landscape
Dynamites man's sites on the heights

Altered perception.
Magicians' illusions are
Cunning deception.

Blink

In a blink of eye
An year passed or as decade
Made all of my dreams dry
With your compassion to fade
Still illusions or I say expectations were high

My Self

I am myself an idea 
Nothing more

Writing fading words 
From the deep before

Upon illusions page
The stories score

A life imagined
Nothing more.
