Mirage Maiden

Trick of the light/mind ...

Mirage Maiden

I thought I saw an apparition

Near the skyline of my soul

A translucent image beaconing

Clothed in lingerie of shining gold

Or was this optical phenomenon

Just my mindset playing tricks

Tempting beliefs of possibilities

That I knew could never exist

Desires of a blemished heart

Create odd bespoke imaginations

Fooling the head with an illusion

Of this mirage maiden figmentation

But if by chance her appearing

Is no coincidence in its nature

Perhaps I may nurture expectations

Of meeting this allusive stranger

You've grabbed my muse and shook him to the core
by forcing thoughts of some unbranded smile
The prize of lies spreads all across the floor
without a touch of caution--for the while

But, even though the fragile shard is broke
with hesitation clearly holding sway.
There moves the blur of tears in which to cloak
all notions of the games at which we play

Now is it true denouement at the end
or do we hold the trolly by a thread?
We watch the sly gray fox sneak past the bend
And though the ox is gored, he is not dead

She floats in melancholy’s sweet relief,
knowing her respite will be but brief.

Excellent. I truly enjoyed this piece

' Desires of a blemished heart ~ Create odd bespoke imaginations .. ' Those are the hearts that bleed the most sensitive of human need.

An alluring dream, surely beckoning the man to stay in that land of reveries for hours on end! Whatever you write, your language is incredibly fine, phrasing just so but - never so constrained as to make mock of the emotions.

Very creative, I enjoyed reading this poem. It read like you have just described a dream.

I like the picture and the words which go with it

Was she real or just a figment of your imagination - a dream
