Illusion The candle does not light the dark It's the meadowlark. And it does not bright the light It's lovers insight. The rainbow does not float on air Bold illusion there. And does not end in pot of gold Just a fable told. The wishing well is fiction too A story to woo. It does not hold Aladins lamp Or the genie vamp. And phantoms are of fantasy Not all ecstasy. They do not touch the real of true Not the real of you. Come visit me in shangri-la Oops I think I made a faux pas. |

I've bought a ticket for Shangri-la got my Visa for the boat packed my bag that I'll tote for my trip to Shangri-la where up is down and multiple sides will lift me up so that I might slide into the where of neverland where I might hold this hand that teaches me of faux pas and the way the once, once was... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Yes, much illusion interweaved into everything. Hard to know what's really real sometimes...nicely written. Poeminister "...no single sound too rude upon thy slumber shall intrude, Our thoughts, our souls- O God above! In every deed shall mingle, love." -Poe |

poetic hearts must dream the dream the minds eye seeks beyond truth's scheme poetry will ever believe in fate's illusion as the pen searches reality amidst confusion never give up on the illusion of rhyme and verse 'tis the release from realities dark curse dare not deny the gifts of sweet destiny given the choice ... choose fantasy Believe in the rainbow's gift of gold to our dreams and last 3 wishes we must hold see the light thru eyes of rose not jade the beautiful illusions we mus'nt trade never stop searching for your hearts rose for 'tis where the illusion grants the truth of your suppose ******* *winkiewinkie* me < !signature--> I looked into the sky for my anthem The words and music came through But words and music can never touch the beauty that I've seen Looking into you [This message has been edited by Janet Marie (edited 12-04-2000).] |

Never underestimate fantasy, Sy. It is the cornerstone of reality and, if you understand that, please explain it to me next week! |
