Mirror mirror on the wall,
why are all my clothes too small?
Please mask my cellulite and fat profusion,
with the magic of optical delusion.

Matted, framed, feathered and tarred
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

pour enough shoe polish into a river ~ stepping stones may appear
optical illusions yes ~ scratch at the surface find man’s true veneer

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.

Duped by overwhelming desire
perception ends in disillusion.

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 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.

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!

MIRROR I
In the mirror, ask for advice,
as if the reality of life,
were on the other side ...
MIRROR II
In the land of mirrors,
ask for advice,
it's optical illusion ...!

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.

Circumhorizontal arc
Is an optical
Phenomenon, an
Ice halo formed by plate shaped
Ice crystals in high
Level cirrus clouds.
Circumhorizon arc is
It's other cool name

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

a tiny water drop in light
reflections of love
refractions of hatred
dispersion of rage
rain bow in your
heart
you are a phenomenon
e=mc2
illuminate droplets
we only see incomplete
optical illusion viewed
from a relative angle
melanin is the primarydivision
arent we fools

I do not know?
lay clothes fall, hit the bedroom floor,
as do those indentured servants bound to my chest.
yawning tears puddle, blur optical lenses,
amble senselessly toward the cookies and chips.
denial as blinds open and close near tv set.
chills before wine sets in and cozy socks settle the argument.

Face spectacle
daunting optical illusion
Parallel mind heart intrusion
Whom are we to judge
Vessel filled with sludge
Temporarily soul devoid of joy
Father remold me fill my void
Upon renewing me mercy grace set me free

Quintessentially phantasmagoric,
her cobalt skies' chimerical fancy
whores itself out for poetry,
sumptuously cached 'tween
a revelation's optical illusion
enchanting white knights
and seducing dragons alike,
her flimflam elusively lofty
& difficult to evermore be captured
amidst celestial spheres of rapture
