Premium Member Perfection

Perfection….
you illusive itinerant
a driver on a par three hole
aching to outdistance
everyone

Premium Member The Mask

The mask…hiding behind it
Illusive she deceives all
I still find her attractive
Though she hides behind…
The mask

Listen to poem:
time
incessant
yet so illusive

on and on
we chase it

sand though
our fingers

Premium Member Illusive Mirage

Happiness races like the cheerful deer
Can’t be kept forever in the inept frame
Drifts always like illusive mirage farther
Can’t be reached for the thirst to tame.
Form: Rhyme

Premium Member Words and dreams

All words 

Assume to map

The unknown territory..

Careful observers of

Illusive appearances..

It's what dreams are

Made on..to borrow

Some words...


Premium Member A Trauma

Slowly through the curtains
Night turns to day;
Illusive shadowed pictures
Evaporate and die;
Within inner images array
Captured--locked forever
In imagination,stay.

Premium Member Traumas of Life

Slowly through the curtains
Night turns to day;

Evaporate and die;
Within inner images array
Captured--locked forever
In imagination,stay.

Big Sky

Too big to absorb
Montana at hand
Its distance won’t focus
Montana at hand
Two eyes not enough
Montana at hand
Forever illusive
—Montana at hand

Premium Member Mental Slippage

Echoes, thoughts thrown off-course
illusive as in "vision blurring"...
ennui, with nothing to reinforce
imagery. Silence disturbed by purring,
odd admixture of buzzing and whirring.

My Sister Bequethed

Lythe
Salvations droplets
My Elder Sisters Coven
Craven images devout plights
Nestled as high 
Illusive runts

"I want you to diffuse
   Christ's ******** Kevin"

Stain them

Premium Member In the Spontaneity of Life and Death

In the

Spontaneity

Of life and death

Separation's 

Beauty appears as 

Illusive time and space..

This may seem 

A resurrection story

Spontaneously 

Expressing...

Change

because she can
means she cant
in the illusive sun
truth is a basic conflict
open the need
give me the chance
to stop you howler
a change will do you good
in the full moon

Whisper Soft

Whisper…
The silken touch
Of a lover’s soft hand.
Gentle as falling rose petals,
Liquid as a satin stream of water
Caressing the warm waiting earth.
A light illusive touch,
Tender as a 
Whisper.

Nom de Plume

Soft and feathery and illusive
Each word a woven world of fantasy
An artistic lair for the lunacy of emotion

Musical, distant and serene
Aesthetic shelters like seashells
Cast by the angst of the ocean

Premium Member What Was That

a howl woke me
startled, I listened….
nothing

What was that?
Werewolf?
Pack of wild dogs?

Lone wolf?
Fright filled the room
I felt threatened

Sleep was illusive
I had no idea 
The howl came from me

Premium Member Prose Poem Thoughts

Thought pictures,a whispered voice,ideas fly free on unfettered wings of forgotten will,drift to the surreal, an illusive pastime of creativity in reflections of afterthoughts of yesterdays in tomorrow's imagination

Premium Member Hollow War

On the battlefield
in the midst of illusive chaos
weapons with no weight
are thrown around
causes are destroyed
people drop for empty pride
and those very moments
before one passes on
they ask
"What justice?"

Desperado

I’m
really
desperate
to please my heart
than anyone else;
I seem appear so near
but you are too blind to see 
what my eyes can not tell, so I 
now sleep in your illusive kisses-
for this pulsating mind o’ mine to rest.
Form: Etheree

Timeless

Ever illusive
a constant reminder.
I long for more
begging it to stop.
Looking forward to tomorrow
longing for yesterday.
Hurry up and wait
I want to lay the hour glass on it's side,
ticking, tocking.
Less time,
timeless.
Form:

The Glory-Seeker

Behind who too wonderfully
Makes it sound just to live
Whilst be-dazzlingly led on
By illusions, illusive

Fail not I to hear, chuckling;
Nor with Death falter less
Laughing with! Wakes, shakes up
Mundane short-sightedness.
Form: Rhyme

Prismatic Clouds

this sun
is illusive
like mind
in thoughts
of you
and love

i stand naked
beneath unborn
memories
shadowless
alone

clouds above
aglow
in prismatic
tears
waiting
to give birth
to this emptiness
that swells
in my eyes

Acacia

From the moment we shook hands
By subtle vibes I’d been eclipsed
Distinct your voice ever so grand
From the moment we shook hands
Upon your palms illusive strands
Blending with such beckoning lips
From the moment we shook hands
By subtle vibes I’d been eclipsed
Form: Triolet

My Illusive Butterfly

Where are you today
My Illusive Butterfly

Fluttering around 
Among beautiful flowers
Amid fluffy billowy clouds

Or perched on a 
Dainty stem of primrose
Or a nearby limb
Of a mighty Oak

Looking out at the world 
Through the multi eyes of
My Illusive Butterfly

Premium Member Drawn In Sand

how quickly the days of our lives
scamper in their haste
racing in a sprint to scurry
across illusive finish lines
