Clouded cries
bank my sky-
in wicked rays
of crimson shade-
siren songs.
can you hear them?

Dust unsettled
through the night-
blurring ration
from my sight-
fantasy.
can you see it?

Brazen caress
marks my chest-
and grace
is but a foretaste-
silence.
can you feel it?

Whisper tips
of finger lips-
suckle sweet smiles
from my denial –
seduction.
can you taste it?

Filtering my senses
I breathe in shallow glimpses
Catch a dose of hope
through bright kaleidoscope
Only to find the sun
a mockery begun
For I am waterless
upon mirage abreast.

Open arms can be the most fragile in the world...

You've taken me on another journey with ya'.
Enjoyed the scenery as well as the ride.

(smiles) Oh Tanya, this is beautiful, sweet friend, I know this feeling ever so well where I wonder if someone else felt the same way I do and truly I felt the beauty of this vision! (kiss on cheek) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Tanya, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

This is a mirage of excellence, Devina...
I enjoyed cooling off from the hot sun, here in your personal written oasis, Devina.

i was reading this and just before i became entranced, The Ataris came on with the song "San Dimas High School Football rules"
and the first verse was a perfect backdrop for this poem about this mirage....
love it when the world comes together like that.

it's our struggle for identity that leaves us all unknown
