Listening to every heart

Illusions’ Dreams

Once there came this bright illusion
a simple fallacy of my heart,
I fell for its deep deception
but its delusions tore me apart.

Wonderment came with the chimera
and strong belief in its fantasy;
Awake would I from hallucination,
away with these delusions from me.

This damn poor bit of humbuggery
this hocus pocus of my heart
ne’ermore a falseness to see,
from this mirage I shall depart.

That figment of imagination,
that trick of love’s liquid streams
the errors seen in the machinations
are only that, a lonesome dream.

Morning Mama K..

Been awhile since I read you...and I find myself liking this - I really like your mix of colloquial and almost-romantic language...that's an iffy combination, but I think it's successful here...

and of course I love the image...being a butterfly gal myself...

This is the verse that got me:

'Wonderment came with the chimera
and strong belief in its fantasy;
Awake would I from hallucination,
away with these delusions from me.'

Yup, it got me...

huggles dear

As usual, you have a way with words coupled with wonderful imagery that almost bring me to tears.
Dreams are our hearts revealing
Our deepest soul unbeared..
Peace,love,light and happiness

Sunshine,
I have wondered in that garden. Just don't pick the flowers.

That was a wonderful dream, wasn't it?..enjoyed the mix of the colloquial and romanticism too.

Our unspoken but shared visions of what we wish to see and the continued dash of our longings won't stop us though will it? We are therefore we Love.

The heart sees what it wants to see...and learns wisdom in the process.  This is beautiful!

(big hugggsssssss) Oh my gosh, this is soooooo beautiful, sweet friend, whenever I see a butterfly the sight is so breathtaking to me it almost seems like an illusion and I wonder if it's all just legerdmain or all just truly a part of everything! (smiles) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Butterflies are such lovely thoughts, Karilea...
They are of this world but somehow also of the world beyond...
