Illusion

a M.A.G.I.C. compilation

Do the dreams of the dead

Coincide with those of who are alive?

Is the heart filled with dread

Just as tempted as it is that full of light?

 

When the Lord of Death will come

What will be my last word?

That place where he’s coming from…

Is it better than ours, or it’s just as absurd?

 

The mirror… my personal messenger

Will carry its message through my entire life

Whether I choose to be a challenger

Or my hurricane of energy will eventually subside…

I think we have all wondered about this sometime during are life. A question we will never have the answer to until, well you know. I like poems with questions that make you think and wonder. Nicely done Ana.

Thank you Robert :)

[Matching Socks]

Deep questions and thoughts. Just live and let live.
It's out of our hands

[Ana B.]

Seems simple.....thank you for stopping by Ana :)

[KWP]

and when we finish the poem and come full circle we are reminded just to live ....

beautiful words - a thirst for knowing - but alas in this funny human form - we can never be all knowing - that moment is returned to us once we put consciousness back on the library shelf we borrowed it from

nice words Ana - as usual you leave something to think on XX

:) thank you very much for your thoughts dear KWP!

I really like this one Ana... definitely some dark tones and some awesome questions presented.
"Do the dreams of the dead
Coincide with those of who are alive?
Is the heart filled with dread
Just as tempted as it is that full of light?"

I really like that first stanza... really captures the readers attention from the start. Awesome work!

[Ana B.]

Thank you very much my dear for always finding time for my works ( sorry to not return the compliment.....got hundrets of RR, but i'll get to all of them....eventually)...

[AaronFreitas]

No problem Ana... can't wait :)

Well, this poem must have requires a lot of thought. I can see it. The lines aren't just rhyming poetically, they are rhyming literally. The mirror being expressed as "my messenger" was a BRILLIANT angle. This is an extremely well written poem. A perfect 100.

Thank you very much Shivam :)

[Shivam Murari]

Questions that can only be answered in the happening moment.. Ana.B this piece is very deep and intense.. Great, i trust you'll choose to be a challenger.

[Ana B.]

:) I hope so too, thank you very much.

[Passengerr]

Welcome, you too..

i bet it is just as absurd...actually...

and those dead who dream---do they dream of the living and does it scare them, like we are scared when dreaming of the dead?

[Ana B.]

an interesting concept, thank you for stopping by Jacob.

Wow lost into the words of your imagination....Really it would be a mystery for When the Lord of Death will come. What will be my last word?

[Ana B.]

Thank you for your thoughts Skyfall :)
