Illusions of Life



As in this awesome picture above
life has many illusions.
What is real and what is not
must be of our own conclusion

The Words of love spoken so freely
lightly and profoundly touch the heart.
Are words etched forever
that must last long beyond the start.

With all in Love and Life
there is no " just kinda"
It must be commitment given
with no hidden agenda

The cards are on the table
no hidden truths allowed
the heart must be open and free
not hidden by a black shroud

I believe that marriage
is forever and a day.
That from my heart and life
they can never stray.

The illusions of love and life
oh how does one determine?
To leave that zone of safe
Is it worth the chance taken?

My heart is full
and not all is pain.
Is it but an illusional wish
to love and laugh again?

Oh to dance among the stars
in the arms of the one I love.
Would be a prayer answered
by my loving Father above.

So above as you alone can do
determine if this is but a she
or just the cold harsh truth
of your life's reality tree.

And so it comes now to me to give you my thoughts my Dearest of Dearest Friends.
'I Want Tomorrow' The music now playing behind these most sincere words from you heart,
is an absolute perfect choice.

"My heart is full
and not all is pain.
Is it but an illusional wish
to love and laugh again? "

No sweetie it is NOT! And I have prayed this prayer for you for so long now.
To really want tomorrow. In fact it is a prayer that bares many names.
All of our tomorrow's have remained the same for far too long and I see this
as a "The glass is half full" write of emotion and a vision of hope.

Keep fanning the flame sweetie and reach for your dreams. While you are at it
remember to grab my arm and drag me along as well.

I will always be in your tomorrow's I know, but you yearn for more as you should,
and as it will one day be for you. Beautiful work as always my friend.

Hugs,
"Just Me"

There are many points in this poem I personally do not agree with. I for one do not believe in marriage. I see marriage an impossible feat for a race that has become so hypocritical. Furthermore, I see love as nothing more than an illusion. But life is real. The absense of love makes life hurt, and pain is always real. It does not last long, but it is always there. If love ever happens, it is only for a brief moment. After all, if it were easy to grasp, I do not think it would be so popular to find.

However, I like the way you are expressing your opinion on the matter by means of illusions.

"Oh to dance among the stars
in the arms of the one I love.
Would be a prayer answered
by my loving Father above"

how many times I've thought this over the past years
having lost two husbands before I was 39.

So many thoughts enter my mind while reading this well penned verse,
and reality is reality and we must go on, and learn to fly once more
and reach for the golden circle that's there to be grasped.

How I wish for you wonderful horizons to find and enjoy my friend.
hugs and love,
Sandi

I got to say you give so much to think about in this piece... first off there are certainly many illusions in life, even in nature... look at all the cloud formations that look like different objects to different people, then of coarse there are harmful illusions that are man made with deceit as the motive for personal gain... even looking in the mirror can be an illusion, not only do you see yourself backwards but you see what you want to see but may not be what others see... then the talk of love and life and no kinda... nope it is either you do or you don't cause maybe will only lead to failure and pain. thanks for sharing such deep and intelligent thoughts.

Hello Donna,
I think this is a very beautiful, powerfully moving poem that has come straight from your heart. You have told many truths in this, or at least truths that I agree with 100%. It takes time for a betrayed heart to heal and be brave enough to take the plunge again. At the same time, one's eyes become more open to pick up on lies and deception. The 1st verse of this poem is my favorite. It just sums up life and love perfectly in my opinion. Thank you for sharing this with us and keep up the great work!
hugs
Don

This is a wonderful write from the heart
I enjoyed it very much
I hope you have a life filled with love
You sure deserve it
You are one of the kindest women I have ever come to know
It is a privilege to call you friend
Many Hugs from your friend Ray
