Dancing with Delusions
Darkness of
the night sets in hard
A heart
chilled by silent memories of the day
The sun
abandons the sky for solace
While the moon stands melancholy, in place
She weeps softly
in the cover of night
For a love
that was never shared
Nursing a
façade of Eden found
The moment
in time… she dared
Nothing is
ever as it seems, buried in the umbra of passion
Illusions
magically adorned by the hue of the moon.
Shadows
carry their own province of deception
An enchanted
vision, playfully silhouettes a darkened room
Dancing with
delusion, as the clock strikes midnight
The tune tugs
the strings of a hopeful heart
Immersed in
a dream, once held in reverence
Sold in
pieces to the highest bidder - a la carte.
It is not
love that torments her battered heart
Rather, the
loss of another dream she held dear
Yet kisses
are a better fate than wisdom
And dancing,
trumps stagnation and fear.

ReplyDeleteWow you were first! Yes...the ink does flow dark from this well. I'm just happy when it flows lately.
DeleteThis one just blows me away - it hits hard and deep.
ReplyDeleteIt was definitely one that reached deep. Thank you Tyler.
DeleteSometimes when you write I feel it. I don't remember the words, it just connects at a 100% emotional level. Always been that way.
DeleteThat is a wonderful compliment Tyler. I feel the same about your writing. Maybe that's one good reason we are friends.
DeleteOh, girl. I'd say you have no idea how much this resonates, but I know you do. That is a dance I'm most familiar with. *sighs* Love you so much <3
ReplyDeleteIf it is anything like your poems resonate with me...yes, I do know! Some day girl...looking forward to the dance that doesn't paint the dark. Love you too sistah.
DeleteWow, spectacular and very emotional xo
