Inprismed

Inprismed

Securely locked up

and cloaked

in exquisite shades

like some

bird of paradise

standing

proudly in its own

magnificent

multicoloured light ..

Is surely,

the way I last recall

seeing her ..

Although now I fear

my eyes may

have deceived me ..

Since such

intrinsic beauty later

proved to be

nothing but a series

of callous,

contradictory illusions ..

damn it's so clever. i was amazed. i had to read it 5 or 6 times to understand it (it took me also a long time to accept that he wasn't what he seemed) and i love poems that i have to look up in a dictionary to understand.
once that light breaks there's a period in the dark where you stop and think and say, was everything a lie? in the dark where we question everything...
it's such a cleverly written poem that no comment i could make to interpret it, could not be your only sentence. clever af. loved it as always sir! on favs

Clever Title!!! I'm jealous, wish I'd thought of it :)
I particularly enjoyed this piece! Reminds me of Ernest Becker's ('The Denial of Death') quotes re Illusion being Reality.

You reminded me of the Eagles song, "Lying Eyes". I'm a firm believer in what goes around, comes around. But to be deceived in love, that's some kind of pain!

[Neville]

I believe in that too Kelly .. just be sure I appreciate you calling on me like this .. & truly ..

Yep! Been there, done that and goy the t shirt.
What starts as all pretty shiny shinies doesn't take long to tarnish in the cold light of day.
Nicely put Nev.
