Sunrays dance on waves
                                       playful dolphins leap and dive

On display, I am permanently scarred.
No misunderstanding or optical illusion
My gallery heart begs for love’s intrusion....

Overwhelmed by dire thirst
Oppressed without water
Over the next sand dune
Offered in a vision
Optical illusions
Outcrops of tall date palms
Oasis; a mirage...

Pseudo-Expressionless
pseudo-expression's
      of ragged diamonds
  a fugazi sans brilliance,
  shiner midst vague skies 
           in the optical jags of
       practical indifference...

Suddenly seeing imageries in the shed's wooden planks,
As though my own mind is playing optical illusional pranks,
Finally have found the right high that hits me like heavy tanks....

At best, life is just mass confusion
Finding what's real and what's just an illusion
Speak of politics.  Do I dare?
When finding the truth is so rare.
Because politicians are just an optical illusion!...

    A room full of optical illusions
    Hypnotized Sue, who shared her delusions

      Screaming ‘I’m the Queen of France’
      Clothed only in underpants

    Revealing her twin buxom protrusions

Not Only Was He
Not Only Was He

Not Only Was He an optical illusion 
On our whole life was an intrusion
We wish he had never been here
One day would completely disappear 
Into the form of a distant delusion.

Angst
Could this infused intrusion

 Just be an Optical Illusion?

What goes up must come down.

The people are dragged all around.

What would the Bible say;

Take the time ; Search today!

The zebra:
An optical illusion
That tricks your sight,
Not colour, not HD ready,
But just in black and white.

An African sales success,
Of great pride it’s the source,
Cleverly marketed as …
A bar-coded horse....

A sh**load of sparrows
Dancing on the wires
Spots on my truck


A howling of leashes
Domesticated torture
A cat hisses


A cacophony of phrases
A drumming of woodpeckers
Shouting – quiet please


Unopened flowers
A menagerie of metaphor
Optical conclusions
