Illusions...

Absinthe on my lips ,

for way too long.

Seconds , minutes, hours

passing by like the wind,

stronger than a poet's mind.


Power was their fear,

but they had control over me.

Days, months, years , going 

through my mind. Like the wind 

stronger than a mother's cry.


And while spring was a mystery,

with them the voices in my head-

from blossoming lilies in pain-

become the songs sang by birds 

on a sunny day!


But absinthe has been on 

my lips  for way to long. 

134340 elements of hope...

Just like water colours 

these illusions too wash off.


Temporary relapse and 

they take me back. 

Yes , reality is prison!

But surveillance of the phantom

is just another punishment 


for the heart...

I hope you are having a blessed day! As always thank you for taking some time of your day to read my work. This poem is about my battle between reality and illusions. No matter how hard I try to be present , I always find myself spacing out into my own world of dreams and illusions. Do you relate? Let me know what you think in the comments!
