Vanishing Point

I saw them disappear

They seemed to be together

From this far away

They were right here

Apart, but side by side

Together in front of me

But apart and distant

In thought, perhaps together.

They moved in separate lines

Apart but going the same way

And in the distance

I saw them disappear

Together in the vanishing point

They held hands and kissed

In my mind 

They stayed that way forever

Together entwined

A shimmering mirage

Of love

If I followed them down

Maybe I would see

Parallel lines that never meet

Maybe their vanishing point

Is a place I can't go

When time and distance 

Defeated reality.

Maybe a thing is set

And can't move

Maybe an illusion can't

Prove a lie

Maybe it's a trick of

The eye

The mind 

Maybe I would rather be blind

Than see.

This is a rather freaky illustration of how it might feel to be going a little crazy. I love this. This is exactly how it can feel, when you've convinced yourself of something delusional, yet you're pursuing it, seeing it as reality & delusion almost at the same time. The geometry angle is very clever & symbolic of "going off on a tangent" (((HUGS)))
